10  HAEPEE  &  BEOTHEES'  LIST  OP  PUBLICATIONS. 

Harper's  New  Classical  Library, 

The  want  of  a  Series  of  LITERAL  TRANSLATIONS  of  the  Greek  and  Latin  au- 
thors who  are  usually  studied  in  the  American  course  of  Academic  education,  has 
been  long  felt  by  the  most  intelligent  and  assiduous  classical  teachers.  That 
they  are  capable  of  being  abused  by  the  indolent  and  unfaithful  pupil  is  no  plea 
against  their  utility  when  employed  in  their  legitimate  place.  A  translation  of 
an  ancient  writer  into  English,  as  perfectly  literal  as  is  permitted  by  the  idioms 
of  the  respective  languages,  affords  an  invaluable  aid  to  the  instructor  in  the  ac- 
complishment of  his  arduous  task.  If  executed  with  fidelity  and  skill,  it  saves 
much  time  and  labor  in  the  consultation  of  dictionaries,  and  embodies  the  best 
results  of  philological  acumen  and  research  in  the  shortest  possible  space.  Pages 
of  learned  commentary  are  thus  concentrated  in  the  rendering  of  a  single  word. 

The  works  which  it  is  proposed  to  issue  are  reprints  from  "Bonn's  CLASSICAL 
LIBRARY,"  brought  out  uniform  with  the  English  edition,  and  comprising  faith- 
ful translations  of  the  principal  Greek  and  Latin  classics. 

Each  work  will  be  given  without  abridgment,  and  will  include  short  suggestive 
notes,  adapted  to  the  comprehension  as  well  as  the  actual  wants  of  the  student. 
Copious  and  accurate  indices  will  be  appended  to  every  translation.  No  version 
will  be  adopted  without  ample  and  thorough  revision,  correcting  its  errors  by  the 
lights  of  modern  research,  and  placing  it  on  a  level  with  the  present  improved 
state  of  philological  learning. 

This  Niw  CLASSICAL  LIBRARY  has  received  a  cordial  welcome  from  the  whole 
corps  of  American  classical  teachers.  The  important  uses  of  such  a  work  in  their 
daily  avocations  are  too  obvious  to  require  discussion.  Nor  is  the  interest  of  the 
series  confined  to  teachers  by  profession.  Every  reading  man,  though  destitute 
of  a  knowledge  of  the  ancient  languages,  feels  a  laudable  curiosity  to  form  an 
acquaintance  with  the  incomparable  models  of  literary  art  which  they  have  pre- 
served. In  the  literal  translations  with  which  he  is  furnished  by  the  present 
series,  he  will  find  the  information  that  he  seeks,  enabling  him  to  comprehend 
current  classical  allusions  with  facility,  to  become  familiar  with  the  true  spirit 
of  the  ancients,  and  to  share  in  conversation  and  studies  which  presuppose  a 
knowledge  of  Greek  and  Roman  antiquity. 

The  following  volumes  are  now  ready.    Portraits.    12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents  each. 


Virgil. 

Sallust, 

Horace. 

Cicero's  Orations.

Tacitus.    2  vols.

The  general  reader,  the  student,  the  merchant,  and  the  artizan,  will  find  in 
this  work  all  the  information  adapted  to  their  special  requirements,  brought 
down,  as  nearly  as  possible,  to  the  present  day,  in  a  form  more  commodious  and 
accessible  than  in  any  other  work  of  similar  character  which  has  ever  been  of-

This  work  is  intended  as  a  complete  text-book  of  general  history  for  the  use 
of  schools.  It  does  not  consist,  as  is  often  the  case  with  books  of  this  class,  of  a 
condensed  summary  of  names,  dates,  and  detached  chronological  events,  but 
presents  in  a  simple  and  connected  narrative,  a  general  view  of  the  great  leading 
events  that  have  occurred  in  the  history  of  the  world,  beginning  at  the  earliest 
periods  and  coming  down  through  the  Assyrian,  Persian,  Grecian,  Roman,  and 
British  empires,  to  the  organization  of  the  American  Republic,  and  the  estab- 
lishment of  the  American  Constitution.  It  is  intended  for  Americans,  and  the 
narrative  consequently  follows  the  line  which  leads  to,  and  is  most  directly  con- 
nected with,  the  events  of  our  own  histoiy.  The  work  is  fully  illustrated  with 
maps  and  engravings,  and  is  prepared  with  questions  on  a  new  and  very  conve- 
nient plan  for  the  use  of  teachers.

Hildreth's  History  of  the  United  States, 

FIRST  SERIES. — From  the  First  Settlement  of  the  Country  to 
the  Adoption  of  the  Federal  Constitution.  3  vols.  8vo,  Muslin,

$6  00;  Sheep  extra,  $6  75  ;  Half  Calf,  $9  00. 

This  work,  by  common  consent  of  the  most  competent  judges,  has  attained  the 
rank  of  a  standard  authority  on  the  subject  of  American  history.  In  a  terse, 
compact,  and  highly  perspicuous  narrative,  the  writer  traces  the  progress  and 
•Dorkings  of  American  institutions  until  the  close  of  the  administration  of  Pres- 
ident Monroe.  The  course  of  legislation  since  the  establishment  of  our  National 
Independence  is  minutely  described,  receiving  .from  the  hands  of  the  author,  the 
degree  of  attention  which  its  importance  demands.  In  relating  the  early  settle- 
ment of  the  Colonies  and  the  events  of  the  Revolutionary  struggle,  he  crowds  a 
great  amount  of  matter  into  a  narrow  compass,  leaving  no  important  incident 
untouched,  but  never  tempted  by  the  interest  of  the  theme  into  an  unnecessary 
diffuseness.  The  work  is  especially  valuable  as  a  book  of  reference,  a  manual  for 
instruction  in  American  history.  In  no  other  way  can  the  student  of  our  annals 
find  such  a  clear,  precise,  and  copious  statement  of  events,  as  by  consulting  these 
volumes.  The  accuracy  of  their  details,  the  acuteness  and  sobriety  of  their  com- 
ments, and  the  masculine  vigor  and  naturalness  of  their  style,  make  them  equal- 
ly indispensable  to  the  statesman,  the  politician,  the  man  of  letters,  and  the  gen- 
eral reader.

The  Rise  of  the  Dutch  Republic.      A  History.    By  JOHN  Lo- 

THROP  MOTLEY.     With  a  Portrait  of  William  of  Orange.     3  vols. 

8vo,  Muslin,  6  00;  Sheep,  $6  75;  Half  Calf,  $9  00. 

In  this  valuable  contribution  to  historical  literature,  by  an  American  writer, 
we  have  a  parallel  to  the  masterly  productions  which  have  given  such  an  envia- 
ble celebrity  to  the  names  of  Irving,  Prescott,  Bancroft,  and  Hildreth  in  a  simi- 
lar department  of  composition.  It  embraces  the  period  from  the  abdication  of 
Charles  V.,  in  1555,  to  the  death  of  William  the  Silent,  Prince  of  Orange,  in 
1584.  The  memorable  conflict  between  the  feudal  institutions  of  the  Middle 
Ages  and  the  dawning  light  of  modern  liberty;  between  the  most  malignant 
form  of  religious  bigotry,  and  the  infant  genius  of  toleration ;  between  the  arro- 
gant claims  of  monarchical  prescription  and  the  timid  aspiration  of  universal 
justice,  is  portrayed  by  Mr.  Motley  in  vivid  colors,  and  with  enthusiastic  sym- 
pathy in  the  cause  of  human  progress.  The  foreground  of  the  picture  is  occu- 
pied by  that  admirable  specimen  of  patriotism  and  nobleness  of  character,  Will- 
iam the  Silent,  whose  eminent  virtues  belong  to  the  same  class  of  excellence  as 
those  which  have  since  commanded  the  homage  of  the  world  in  the  person  of 
Washington.  The  scene  is  crowded  with  significant  and  impressive  events,  con- 
nected with  the  development  of  political  and  religious  freedom.  Mr.  Motley  has 
produced  a  vigorous  narrative,  worthy  of  the  great  historical  themes  to  which  it 
is  devoted.  In  beauty  and  animation  of  style,  picturesque  variety  of  grouping, 
and  dramatic  exhibition  of  character,  his  work  is  not  surpassed  by  any  of  the 
classic  historical  productions  which  are  among  the  most  remarkable  literary 
features  of  the  age. 


Bancroft's  Miscellanies, 

Literary  and  Historical  Miscellanies.    By  GEORGE  BANCROFT. 

8vo,  Muslin,  $2  00  ;  Half  Calf,  f  3  00. 

This  volume  comprises  essays  on  several  miscellaneous  subjects,  studies  in 
German  literature,  with  notices  of  the  principal  authors  in  that  language,  and 
poetical  translations ;  studies  in  histoiy,  including  various  elaborate  monographs 
on  important  topics ;  and  occasional  addresses,  among  which  are  a  tribute  to  John 
Calvin,  a  eulogy  on  William  Ellery  Channing,  and  a  discourse  before  the  His- 
torical Society  on  the  Progress  of  the  Human  Race.  The  volume  embraces  a  se- 
ries of  compositions  that  spread  over  an  interval  of  more  than  thirty-five  years. 
The  intrinsic  value  of  its  contents  will  make  it  welcome  to  all  intelligent  read- 
ers, while  the  lovers  of  literary  history  will  follow,  with  curious  interest,  the 
course  of  study  and  of  thought  which  has  ripened  into  such  a  pure  and  exalted 
fame.

Curtis's  History  of  the  Constitution, 

History  of  the  Origin,  Formation,  and  Adoption  of  the  Constitu- 
tion of  the  United  States.  By  GEORGE  TICKNOR  CURTIS.  Com- 
plete in  two  large  and  handsome  Octavo  Volumes.  Muslin, 
$4  00 ;  Law  Sheep,  $5  50 ;  Half  Calf,  $6  00. 

This  work,  by  an  accomplished  scholar,  supplies  a  want  which  has  never  been 
adequately  met  in  the  historical  literature  of  the  country.  It  embraces  the  pe- 
riod from  the  commencement  of  the  Revolution  to  the  assembling  of  the  Conven- 
tion of  1T8T,  showing  the  causes  which  rendered  the  calling  of  that  body  inevita- 
ble, and  which  gave  the  shape  and  coloring  to  its  decisions ;  explaining  the  foun- 
dations on  which  our  national  liberty  and  prosperity  were  then  settled  by  the 
statesmen  to  whom  the  American  Revolution  gave  birth ;  and  presenting  a  se- 
ries of  graphic  memoirs  of  the  principal  members  of  the  Convention.  In  pre- 
paring this  great  national  work,  Mr.  Curtis  enjoyed  the  encouragement  and  coun- 
sels of  Daniel  Webster,  who  took  the  liveliest  interest  in  its  completion,  and 
urged  its  importance  almost  in  the  last  days  of  his  life.  Written  in  a  condensed 
and  vigorous  style,  founded  on  accurate  and  persevering  historical  research, 
crowding  a  lively  narrative  with  novel  incidents  and  events,  and  presenting  the 
characters  of  the  illustrious  framers  of  the  Constitution  in  bold  and  discrimina- 
ting portraits,  this  highly  important  work  is  adapted  to  occupy  a  distinguished 
place  in  the  records  of  American  history.  It  is  an  accession  of  sterling  merit  to 
our  Revolutionary  annals,  and  can  not  fail  to  challenge  the  attention  and  admi- 
ration of  our  statesmen,  scholars,  and  politicians,  no  less  than  the  great  body  of 
the  American  people. 

Ticknor's  History  of  Spanish  Literature,

extra,  $6  75 ;  Half,  f  9  00. 

The  author  of  this  standard  historical  work  has  devoted  the  studies  and  labors 
of  nearly  a  lifetime  to  its  preparation.  In  point  of  comprehensiveness  of  plan, 
richness  of  information,  sagacity  of  criticism,  and  thoroughness  of  execution,  it 
may  claim  pre-eminence  over  any  similar  production  in  the  English  language ; 
and  it  is  certainly  not  surpassed  by  the  most  celebrated  master-pieces  of  its  kind 
in  Continental  literature.  It  gives  a  complete  survey  of  the  origin  and  develop-" 
ment  of  Spanish  literature,  traces  the  progress  of  intellectual  culture  in  that  na- 
tion, presents  copious  biographical  sketches  of  her  great  authors,  with  genial 
comments  on  their  writings,  and  furnishes  a  variety  of  translations  from  the 
most  celebrated  poets.  The  style  of  the  work  is  refined  and  classical,  finished 
with  exquisite  propriety,  and  abounding  in  those  subtle  graces  of  expression, 
which  distinguish  the  pen  of  the  mature  scholar.  No  work  issued  from  the 
American  press  has  received  warmer  commendation  from  European  critics,  or 
has  done  more  to  diffuse  and  elevate  the  fame  of  our  native  literature.

scholarship  and  glowing  eloquence  which  characterize  all  the  productions  of  their

in  importance  and  value  to  no  series  of  original  works  ever  printed  in  this  coun- 
try. Mr.  Sparks' s  labors  can  not  be  too  highly  estimated.  His  researches  have 
been  prosecuted  with  untiring  diligence,  and  with  such  success  that  almost  every 
question  within  their  scope  has  been  definitively  settled.  The  great  merits  of 
Mr.  Sparks  are  reverence  for  truth,  soundness  of  judgment  in  regard  to  evidence, 
and  exhausting  fullness  of  detail  and  illustration. — GriswolcCs  Prose  Writers.

This  is  one  of  the  works  which  are  the  delight  of  readers  and  the  despair  of

Maury's  Geography  of  the  Sea. 

The  Physical  Geography  of  the  Sea.     By  M.  F.  MAURY,  LL.D., 

Lieut.  U.  S.  Navy.     With  Wood-cuts  and  Charts.     New  Edition, 
greatly  enlarged  and  improved.     8vo,  Muslin,  $1  50 ;  Half  Calf, 


A  philosophical  account  of  the  winds  and  currents  of  the  ocean  —  of  its  depth 
and  temperature,  of  the  wonders  that  are  hidden  in  its  bosom,  and  of  the  phe- 
nomena that  are  exhibited  at  its  surface.  The  economy  of  the  sea  and  its  adap- 
tations, its  salts,  its  waters,  its  inhabitants — also  pertain  to  the  subject,  and  are 
amply  treated  in  the  present  volume.  The  discussion,  it  will  be  perceived,  is  of 
a  unique  character,  and  opens  details  that  are  rarely  touched  in  the  records  of 
science.  In  the  hands  of  Lieutenant  Maury  it  assumes  a  popular  interest,  no 
less  than  scientific  importance.  His  descriptions  of  the  phenomena  of  the  Gulf 
Stream,  of  the  currents  of  the  sea,  and  other  cognate  topics,  are  singularly 
graphic  in  their  style,  besides  containing  a  rich  fund  of  curious  and  valuable  in- 
formation. It  is  rarely  that  a  treatise  on  any  branch  of  physical  science  is  so 
attractive  in  its  details  or  so  fruitful  in  its  instructions  as  this  volume.  The 
work  has  elicited  universal  interest  and  admiration  both  in  America  and  Europe. 

Brodhead's  History  of  New  York,

First  Period,  1609-1664.     Svo,  Muslin,  $3  00;  Half  Calf,  $4  00. 

In  this  elaborate  volume,  Mr.  Brodhead  has  supplied  the  want  of  a  thorough 
history  of  New  York,  with  a  completeness  and  accuracy  of  research,  a  genuine 
historical  acumen,  and  a  lucidity  and  vigor  of  style  which  at  once  elevate  his  work 
to  the  rank  of  a  standard  and  classical  authority  on  the  subject.  Mr.  Brodhead 
has  investigated  the  subject,  to  a  great  extent,  by  the  aid  of  original  materials. 
His  pages  not  only  bear  the  marks  of  extensive  research,  but  of  conscientious 
impartiality,  excellent  judgment,  and  refined  and  liberal  scholarship.

Lossing's  Field-Book  of  the  Revolution. 

Pictorial  Field-Book  of  the  Revolution ;  or,  Illustrations  by  Pen 
and  Pencil  of  the  History,  Biography,  Scenery,  Relics,  and  Tra- 
ditions of  the  War  for  Independence.     By  BENSON  J.  Los  SING. 
2  vols.  8vo,  Muslin,  $8  00 ;  Sheep  extra,  $9  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $10  00 ; 
Morocco,  gilt  edges,  $15  00.    Sold  only  by  Agents. 
A  new  and  carefully  revised  edition  of  this  magnificent  work  is  just  completed 
in  two  imperial  octavo  volumes  of  equal  size,  containing  1500  pages  and  1100 
engravings.     As  the  plan,  scope,  and  beauty  of  the  work  were  originally  devel- 
oped, eminent  literary  men,  and  the  leading  presses  of  the  United  States  and 
Great  Britain,  pronounced  it  one  of  the  most  valuable  historical  productions  ever 
issued  in  America.     The  prime  object  of  the  author  in  arranging  his  plan  was  to 
reproduce  the  history  of  the  American  Revolution  in  such  an  attractive  manner, 
as  to  entice  his  countrymen  to  read  the  wonderful  story,  study  its  philosophy  and 
teachings,  and  to  become  familiar  with  the  founders  of  our  Republic  and  the 
value  of  their  labors.     In  this  he  has  been  eminently  successful ;  the  pages  of  the 
Field-Book  are  read  with  the  same  avidity  as  those  of  a  romance. 

Its  exquisite  illustrations  have  a  lasting  and  intrinsic  value  as  delineations  of 
fact.  An  analysis  shows  that  these  illustrations  exhibit  245  portraits,  475  auto- 
graphs of  eminent  men,  182  celebrated  buildings,  62  maps  and  plans  of  battles, 
fortifications,  &c.,  46  views  of  battle-grounds,  102  views  of  other  historical  local- 
ities, 96  sketches  of  curious  historical  objects,  26  fac  similes  of  manuscripts,  27 
medals,  seals,  &c.,  46  views  of  fortifications,  sketches  of  12  remarkable  trees,  76 
monuments,  24  old  churches,  6  statues,  75  appropriate  initial  letters,  and  about 
a  dozen  miscellaneous  fancy  sketches.  There  are  in  all  1100  engravings,  includ- 
ing 1500  distinct  illustrations  of  objects  described  in  the  text. 

A  very  elaborate  Analytical  and  Chronological  Index  has  been  prepared  for 
each  volume,  by  the  late  Rev.  Dr.  SHROEDER,  which  enables  the  student  to  read- 
ily find  any  name,  event,  locality,  or  fact  mentioned  in  the  war. 

For  public  and  private  libraries,  for  constant  reference  in  families,  and  as  a 
reading-book  in  households  and  schools,  it  has  no  superior  among  the  many  books 
offered  to  the  public.  Explanatory  notes  are  profusely  given  upon  every  page  in 
the  volumes,  and  also  a  brief  biographical  sketch  of  every  man  distinguished  in 
the  events  of  the  Revolution,  the  history  of  whose  life  is  known.  The  Supple- 
ment of  forty  pages  contains  a  History  of  the  Naval  Operations  of  the  Revolu- 
tion; of  the  Diplomacy;  of  the  Confederation  and  Federal  Constitution;  the 
Prisons  and  Prison-ships  of  New  York ;  Lives  of  the  Signers  of  the  Declaration 
of  Independence,  and  other  matters  of  curious  interest  to  the  student  of  our  his- 
tory. As  a  whole,  it  contains  all  the  essential  facts  of  the  early  history  of  our 
Republic,  which  are  scattered  through  scores  of  volumes,  often  inaccessible  to  the 
great  mass  of  readers.  It  forms  a  complete  Guide-book  to  the  tourist  seeking  for 
fields  consecrated  by  patriotism,  which  lie  scattered  over  our  broad  land. 

Nothing  has  been  spared  to  make  this  great  National  Work  complete,  reliable, 
and  eminently  useful  to  all  classes  of  citizens.  Upward  of  $40,000  have  been  ex- 
pended in  its  publication.  The  publishers  take  great  pleasure  in  presenting  these 
volumes  as  the  best  specimen  of  typography  ever  issued  from  the  American  press.

Travels  in  Central  America,  Chiapas,  and  Yucatan.  By  J.  L. 
STEPHENS.  With  a  Map  and  88  Engravings.  2  vols.  8vo,  Mus- 
lin, $5  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $7  00. 

We  close  this  book  with  regret.  From  the  first  page  to  the  last  the  animation, 
the  characteristic  energy,  the  buoyant  spirit  of  the  author  remained  undimin- 
ished.  Our  extracts  might  have  been  thrice  trebled,  and  yet  left  the  volumes 
rich  in  important  and  original  matter.  The  political  details,  for  instance,  from, 
which  we  have  systematically  abstained,  would  in  themselves  be  sufficient  to 
render  the  work  one  of  high  interest  and  permanent  value.  Let  our  friends  of 
the  New  World  send  out  half  a  dozen  such  travelers  as  Mr.  Stephens,  and  we 
predict  that  the  records  of  their  wanderings,  discoveries,  and  adventures  will  do 
more  to  elevate  the  literary  character  of  America  than  the  angry  philippics  of  all 
the  reviewers  and  newspapers  throughout  the  Union,  backed  though  they  may  be 
by  an  entire  phalanx  of  servile  echoes  in  England. — London  Quarterly  Review.

$345. 

Very  pleasant  volumes.  Such,  indeed,  is  the  spirit  of  the  author's  descriptions, 
and  the  vivid  force  and  truth  of  his  narrative,  that  reading  his  work  is  like  ac- 
companying him  on  his  route,  and  the  reader  grows  at  last  to  take  a  personal  in-

One  of  the  most  brilliant  and  fascinating  books  of  travel  ever  published.  The 
account  of  the  visit  to  the  city  of  Petraea,  which  is  excavated  in  the  solid  rock, 
and  had  not  before  been  visited  for  centuries  by  any  European  traveler,  is  most 
deeply  interesting.

In  this  carefully  prepared  volume,  we  have  an  important  contribution  to  rhe- 
torical literature.  Containing  the  speeches  of  the  great  British  orators,  which 
are  regarded  as  the  master-pieces  of  their  respective  authors ;  a  memoir  of  each 
orator,  showing  the  leading  events  of  his  public  life,  and  the  distinctive  charac- 
teristics of  his  oratory ;  an  historical  introduction  to  each  of  the  speeches,  ex- 
plaining the  circumstances  of  the  case ;  the  state  of  parties  and  the  exact  point 
at  issue ;  an  analysis  of  the  longer  speeches  in  side  notes ;  and  a  large  body  of 
critical  and  explanatory  notes,  together  with  translations  of  the  passages  quoted 
from  foreign  languages;  it  leaves  nothing  to  be  desired  as  a  text-book  of  the  po- 
litical and  forensic  eloquence  of  Great  Britain.  The  copious  and  valuable  mem- 
oirs and  notices  by  the  editor  make  this  less  a  compilation  than  an  original  work. 
The  manner  in  which  he  has  performed  his  task  is  a  model  of  accurate  and  thor- 
ough editorship.  He  has  omitted  nothing  which  the  most  exacting  student  could 
demand  for  the  elucidation  of  the  subject  in  hand,  without  ever  being  tempted 
to  indulge  in  superfluous  details,  A  great  mass  of  attractive  information  is  thus 
presented,  and  in  a  style  of  singular  clearness,  strength,  and  elegance.  It  is 
rarely  that  so  much  profound  scholarship,  sound  judgment,  refined  taste,  and 
vigorous  expression  are  devoted  to  the  critical  preparation  for  the  press  of  the 
standard  productions  of  other  writers. 

Dr,  Sanger's  History  of  Prostitution, 

The  History  of  Prostitution:  its  Extent,  Causes,  and  Effects 
thwughout  the  World.  (Being  an  Official  Report  to  the  Board 
of  Aims-House  Governors  of  the  City  of  New  York.)  By  WILL- 
IAM W.  SANGER,  MJX,  Resident  Physician,  Blackwell's  Island,

rine Hospital,  Quarantine,  New  York,  &c.,  &c.,  &c.  8vo,  Mus- 
lin, $3  00. 

This  important  work  is  the  first  serious  attempt  that  has  ever  been  made  to 
collect  into  one  volume  all  the  facts  respecting  the  great  social  evil,  Prostitution. 
It  contains  a  brief  summary  of  all  the  facts  and  statistics  given  in  the  famous 
work  of  Parent  Duchatelet,  and  in  the  more  recent  works  by  various  authors  on 
Prostitution  in  England,  Germany,  &c.  The  subject  of  Prostitution  in  the  Uni- 
ted States  is  most  thoroughly  treated,  with  copious  statistics  from  the  Police  rec- 
ords and  other  authentic  sources  of  information.  Dr.  ganger's  official  experi- 
ence and  the  opportunities  opened  to  him  by  the  Governors  of  the  Aims-House, 
have  undoubtedly  enabled  him  to  produce  a  work  that  will  necessarily  become 
the  text-book  on  this  painful  but  vitally  important  subject,  and  which,  as  such, 
must  form  part  of  the  library  of  every  magistrate,  physician,  and  philanthropist, 
not  only  in  this  country  but  throughout  the  civilized  world. — N.  Y.  Observer. 

It  is  a  book  that  every  magistrate,  every  professional  man,  and,  indeed,  most 
adult  citizens  should  read.  The  enormous  evil  must  be  grappled  with,  and  an 
able,  scientific  work  upon  it,  like  the  present,  is  necessaiy  in  order  that  it  may 
be  intelligently  treated.— -JV.  Y.  Christian  Advocate  and  Journal.

the  Rev.  Dr.  Cummin g,  of  England,  "so  succinct,  full,  and  impartial.  It  is 
fitted  to  instruct  the  preacher  no  less  than  the  Sunday-school  teacher.  It  seems 
to  be  his  grand  effort  to  unveil  solely  what  *  the  Spirit  saith  to  the  churches.'  I 
venture  to  predict  that  his  faithful  and  lucid  comments  will  find  a  response  in 
the  minds,  hearts,  and  consciences  of  most  Christian  readers."

Mr.  Squier  has  all  the  requisites  for  his  undertaking.  He  has  resided  in  the 
country  for  a  considerable  period  in  a  distinguished  position,  and  he  has  trav- 
ersed it  in  all  directions.  Of  a  high  and  bold  spirit,  a  clear-sighted  observer, 
and  indefatigable  even  among  those  transatlantic  Anglo-Saxons  whom  nothing 
tires,  he  is  at  once  historian,  geographer,  archaeologist,  naturalist,  political  econ- 
omist, politician,  man  of  business,  negociator,  mineralogist,  physiologist;  when 
necessary  he  is  even  an  engineer.  He  presents,  in  fact,  a  fine  specimen  of  the 
most  remarkable  type  of  the  North  American,  one  who  is  fit  for  every  thing, 
uniting  flexibility  of  mind  with  force  of  will.  Under  these  circumstances,  Mr. 
Squier  has  been  enabled  to  present  us  with  a  most  interesting  picture  of  Central 
America,  in  which  he  displays  its  various  resources,  astonishing  in  their  variety.

picture  of  the  character  and  habits  of  the  people  and  scenery  of  that  coast,  which 

lately  had  been  invested  with  much  interest  on  account  of  the  pretensions  set  up 

there  by  Great  Britain,  and  strenuously  denied  by  the  United  States.     A  rapid 

sketch  of  the  relations  of  the  two  countries  is  given  in  the  Appendix.     The  artist 

has  enriched  and  illustrated  his  descriptions  with  striking  and  characteristic 

sketches  of  scenery  and  incidents.

Nile  Notes  of  a  Howadji, 

By  GEORGE  WILLIAM   CURTIS.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00  ;   Half 

Calf,  $1  85. 

In  this  brilliant  volume  of  Eastern  travels,  the  genius  of  the  youthful  author, 
who  has  since  attained  such  eminent  distinction,  was  first  revealed  to  the  literary 
public.  Written  in  a  style  which  combines  the  voluptuous  softness  of  an  Orient- 
al atmosphere  with  the  sunny  splendors  of  the  tropics,  it  at  once  marked  the 
writer  as  a  new  star  in  American  literature.  He  takes  the  reader  with  him  into 
rare  and  beautiful  scenes  of  nature,  unfolds  the  mysteries  of  Arabian  life,  and 
reproduces  the  strange  incidents  of  a  unique  tour  in  language  of  wonderful  viv- 
idness and  force.

A  second  volume  of  Oriental  travel,  distinguished  for  the  same  bold  and  strik- 
ing characteristics  which  give  such  a  decided  impress  of  beauty  and  power  to  the 
Nile  Notes.  It  abounds  in  picturesque  descriptions  of  the  marvels  of  the  Holy 
Land,  throwing  fresh  light  on  ancient  localities,  and  imbued  with  the  spirit  of 
sympathy  and  reverence  for  the  sacred  scenes  which  it  calls  forth  from  the  dim 
oblivion  of  the  past.

Half  Calf,  $1  60. 

This  delightful  volume  is  a  record  of  the  summer  rambles  of  the  author,  touch-

giving  a  series  of  lively  pictures  of  the  celebrated  places  of  fashionable  resort. 
Humor,  pathos,  and  sentiment  are  generally  blended  in  its  pages,  its  reflections 
are  always  suggestive,  its  narratives  never  pall  upon  the  taste,  its  brilliant  word- 
painting  is  relieved  by  an  undercurrent  of  genuine  feeling,  and  its  fresh  and  glow- 
ing descriptions  give  a  new  charm  to  familiar  objects.

By  GEORGE  WILLIAM  CURTIS.     Illustrated  from  Drawings  by 

HOPPIN.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00;  Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

These  papers  made  the  reputation  of  the  periodical  in  which  they  were  first 

given  to  the  world.     They  were  hailed  with  the  liveliest  delight  by  the  American 

reading  world,  who  acknowledge  in  their  anonymous  author  a  new  star  in  their 

literary  firmament.     As  graphic  and  telling  descriptions  of  a  peculiar  phase  of 

American  society  they  are  unexcelled ;  the  fresh  and  sparkling  wit,  the  genial 

humor,  and  keen  and  truthful  satire  with  which  "our  Best  Society"  is  dissected, 

have  delighted  thousands,  and  made  "Mrs.  Potiphar"  a  proverb.     Hoppin's 

pencil  has  ably  aided  the  pen  of  the  Howadji  in  these  collected  sketches. 

Prue  and  I,

Calf,  $1  85. 

In  the  character  and  fancies  of  an  old  bookkeeper,  "who  wears  a  white  cravat 
and  black  trowsers  in  the  morning,  who  rarely  goes  to  the  opera,  and  never  dines 
out,"  the  author  of  these  charming  essays  has  embodied  the  sweetest  and  most 
genial  humor  which  has  graced  English  literature  since  the  delightful  Essays  of 
Elia.  "  Prue  and  I"  is  a  book  for  the  fireside,  for  a  leisure  hour,  or  for  a  sum- 
mer day.

Herman  Melville's  Works, 


The  new  path  struck  out  by  Melville  in  Typee  and  Omoo  has  led  to  a  wide  and 
brilliant  fame  in  a  short  space  of  time.  Few  of  the  younger  American  authors 
are  more  extensively  read  or  more  universally  admired.  His  pictures  of  primi- 
tive social  life  in  the  islands  of  the  South  Sea  possess  an  irresistible  charm.  The 
works  devoted  to  this  subject  are  redolent  of  the  spicy  fragrance  of  the  native 
forests,  and  glow  with  the  splendid  lights  of  a  tropical  sky.  In  his  other  pro- 
ductions,  comic  humor  is  admirably  blended  with  powerful  description,  grave 
reflection,  and  exciting  narrative.  Surpassed  in  originality  by  no  recent  writer 
in  literature,  his  works  form  an  epoch  in  its  progress,  and  are  indispensable  in 
every  library,

Miss  Sedgwick's  Works. 

Miss  Sedgwick  has  marked  individuality ;  she  writes  with  a  higher  aim  than 
merely  to  amuse.  Indeed,  the  rare  endowments  of  her  mind  depend  in  an  unu- 
sual degree  upon  the  moral  qualities  with  which  they  are  united  for  their  value. 
Animated  by  a  cheerful  philosophy,  and  anxious  to  pour  its  sunshine  into  every 
place  where  there  is  lurking  care  or  suffering,  she  selects  for  illustration  the 
scenes  of  every-day  experience,  paints  them  with  exact  fidelity,  and  seeks  to 
diffuse  over  the  mind  a  delicious  serenity,  and  in  the  heart  kind  feelings  and 
sympathies,  and  wise  ambition  and  steady  hope.  Her  style  is  colloquial,  pictur- 
esque, and  marked  by  a  facile  grace,  which  is  evidently  a  gift  of  nature.  Her 
characters  are  nicely  drawn  and  delicately  contrasted ;  her  delineation  of  man- 
ners decidedly  the  best  that  have  appeared. — Prose  Writers  of  America. 

Memoir  of  Joseph  Curtis, 

A  Model  Man.     By  CATHARINE  M.  SEDGWICK.     16mo,  Muslin, 

50  cents. 

Joseph  Curtis  was  a  merchant  and  a  philanthropist.  In  the  course  of  an  un- 
obtrusive and  laborious  business  life  of  over  fifty  years,  he  proved  how  very  much 
practical  good  can  be  accomplished  in  any  society  by  a  man  of  small  means,  but 
large  and  active  faith.  As  the  leader  of  the  Manumission  movement  in  New 
York,  the  originator  and  first  superintendent  of  the  Juvenile  House  of  Kefuge, 
and  as  a  most  active  and  practical  member  of  the  School  Board,  his  name  will 
live  in  the  memories  of  the  citizens  of  New  York.  As  a  careful,  kind,  and  lov- 
ing father,  his  life  is  a  model  for  all.  Miss  Sedgwick's  memoir  is  a  plain  state- 
ment of  facts,  without  eulogy  other  than  that  contained  in  the  facts  themselves. 
Mr.  Curtis' s  career  is  a  model  for  the  youth  of  our  land. 

Married  or  Single? 

A  Novel.     By  CATHARINE  M.  SEDGWICK.     2  vols.  12mo,  Mus- 
lin, $1  75. 

"  In  this  book  Miss  Sedgwick  has  entered  New  York  society,  and  selected  her 
people  as  her  actors.  Without  caricaturing,  every  person  is  drawn  from  life, 
with  all  the  follies  and  all  the  virtues  that  make  up  a  frequenter  of  New  York 
circles.  It  is  a  simple,  yet  an  absorbing  story  of  modern  life.  In  its  progress, 
married  life  is  laid  bare  of  all  its  concealments,  and  the  contrast  with  singleness 
of  heart  and  life  is  made  plain.  The  pains,  trials,  troubles,  sorrows,  and  ago- 
nies resulting  from  marriage  are  among  the  prominent  incidents  of  the  history; 
yet  the  moral  can  scarcely  be  said  to  be  in  favor  of  single  life."

This  volume  is  intended  to  furnish  an  answer  to  the  question,  "What  is  edu- 
cation?" It  inculcates  that  physical  and  economical  training,  forethought,  the 
formation  of  sound  principles,  useful  habits,  and  pleasing  manners,  are  a  part  of 
education ;  that  housewifery,  cookery,  the  care  of  a  sick-room,  and  even  taste  in 
dress,  are  essential  parts  of  female  education,  as  well  as  a  knowledge  of  books,

Miss  Sedgwick,  says  the  London  Athenceum,  has  far  exceeded  her  predeces-

researches  into  the  parlors,  nay  to  the  very  pantries  of  individuals.  Miss  Sedg- 
wick occupies  a  high  position  in  America,  not  merely  as  an  ornament  of  its  world 
of  light  literature,  but  as  a  moral  teacher.

It  presents  an  engaging  picture  of  the  affections  by  which  life  is  endeared,  the 
trials  to  which  it  is  exposed,  and  the  pure  and  peaceful  enjoyments  with  which 
it  may  often  be  filled.  The  book  abounds  with  generous  and  true  sentiments, 
and  those  simple  and  reconciling  truths  which  we  are  so  apt  to  lose  sight  of  in 
this  bustling,  work-day  world ;  and  all  conveyed,  too,  in  that  same  elegant  form 
which  marks  all  of  Mrs.  Sigourney's  writings.— .y.  Y.  Courier  and  Enquirer.

dren upon  parents,  the  mutual  relation  of  children  and  parents,  the  aims  and  ob- 
jects in  life  to  be  inculcated,  are  all  treated  of  in  a  manner  full  of  grace  and  fine 
feeling.  No  mother  can  peruse  this  volume  without  gaining  from  it  new  views

Mrs.  Sigourney,  in  her  "Letters  to  Young  Ladies,"  has  given  evidence  to  the 
public  that  her  capacity  to  impart  instruction  in  matters  of  domestic  economy, 
and  the  minor  as  well  as  the  major  morals  that  should  regulate  our  conduct  in 
our  intercourse  with  the  world,  is  equal  to  her  power  to  thrill  the  heart  and  cap- 
tivate the  senses  by  her  beautiful  creations  of  poetry.— Literary  Examiner.

of  the  heart,  that  they  will  ever  hold  a  prominent  place  in  our  literature  while 
these  qualities  are  esteemed.  But  few  modem  writers  have  done  more  good

Her  writings  have  endeared  her  name  to  the  lovers  of  virtue  and  song  every 
where.  As  a  writer  of  verse  she  has  high  moral  aims,  and  though  this  circum- 
stance, \vith  ordinary  talent,  might  entitle  her  to  consideration,  she  can  add  the 
effectual  claim  of  sterling  literary  excellence.  Her  poetry  is  characterized  by 
ease,  tenderness,  a  chastened  fancy,  and  a  delicate  sensibility  of  whatever  is 
beautiful  in  nature  or  charming  in  truth.  It  may  be  described  in  one  word,  as 
the  poetiy  of  refined  religious  emotion. — Chamber*.

celebrities  of  the  day  are  portrayed  with  justness  and  delicacy.     The  picture  of 
woman's  life,  as  it  has  been  developed  from  the  time  of  the  earliest  traditions  to 
the  present  date,  is  here  displayed  in  vivid  and  impressive  colors,  and  with  a 
living  sympathy  which  could  flow  only  from  a  feminine  pen.     A  judicious  selec- 
tion from  the  writings  of  women  who  have  obtained  distinction  in  the  walks  of 
literature  is  presented,  affording  an  opportunity  for  comparing  the  noblest  pro- 
ductions of  the  female  mind,  and  embracing  many  exquisite  gems  of  fancy  and 
feeling.     The  biographies  are  illustrated  by  a  series  of  engravings,  which  form 
a  gallery  of  portraits  of  curious  interest  to  the  amateur,  as  well  as  of  great  his- 
torical value.

In  the  form  of  a  fictitious  narrative,  although  evidently  founded  on  facts,  Mrs. 
Hale  here  brings  her  practiced  pen  to  the  illustration  of  the  difficulties  experienced 
by  the  colored  people  of  this  country  in  the  attainment  of  social  position  and 
prosperity ;  and  she  argues  in  behalf  of  the  colonization  enterprse,  as  affording 
the  most  effectual  remedy  for  the  acknowledged  evils  of  the  case.

vised Edition,  with  numerous  Additions  and  Illustrative  Engrav- 
ings. 12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

This  volume  is  extremely  well  suited  to  be  used  as  a  text-book  in  schools  for

Miss  Beecher's  Letters  to  the  People,

ARINE E.  BEECHER.     16mo,  Paper,  37£  cents;  Muslin,  50  cents. 
This  work  assumes  that  the  American  people  are  now  pursuing  a  course  in 
their  own  habits  and  practices  that  is  destructive  to  health  and  happiness,  and 
that  they  are  systematically  educating  their  children  to  become  diseased,  de- 
formed, and  miserable,  as  much  so  as  if  it  was  their  deliberate  aim.     The  work 
points  out  the  methods  by  which  this  is  pursued,  gives  statistics  to  show  the 
shocking  results,  and  then  points  out  the  remedies  for  the  evils  already  done, 
and  the  methods  of  prevention  for  the  future.

This  volume  is  a  vigorous  polemic  against  the  foundations  of  the  Calvinistic 
system,  on  philosophical  principles,  and,  proceeding  from  a  member  of  the  distin- 
guished family  whose  venerable  head  has  taken  such  a  prominent  part  in  the  de- 
fense of  opposite  views,  it  can  not  fail  to  excite  a  profound  and  universal  interest.

Hilliard's  Speeches  and  Addresses, 

Speeches  and  Addresses.  By  HENRY  W.  HILLIARD.  Svo,  Mus- 
lin, $175;  Half  Calf,  $275. 

The  greater  portion  of  this  volume  consists  of  speeches  delivered  in  the  United 
States  House  of  Representatives,  of  which  the  author  was  a  member  during  a 
most  critical  and  eventful  period.  They  are  devoted  to  the  discussion  of  the 
most  important  questions  which  have  ever  agitated  the  country;  prominent 
among  which  are  the  sub-treasury  scheme,  the  Mexican  war,  the  peace  which 
concluded  this  war,  the  form  of  government  to  be  adopted  for  the  newly-acquired 
territory,  and  the  political  aspects  of  the  question  of  slavery.  These  are  discuss- 
ed in  the  light  of  principles  of  universal  application,  rather  than  on  mere  tem- 
porary and  party  grounds.  The  addresses  of  a  literary  character  which  are  ap- 
pended show  that,  in  entering  the  stormy  arena  of  politics,  Mr.  Hilliard  has  not 
neglected  the  pursuits  of  the  accomplished  scholar  and  thoughtful  philosopher.

to  get  attention.  The  author  is  an  accurate  and  close  observer,  and  his  volume 
furnishes  evidence  that  he  knows  what  to  observe  and  what  will  be  likely  to  prove 
interesting  to  the  general  reader.  It  is  not  like  an  ordinary  "  book  of  travels."

narratives,  illustrating  the  leading  truths  of  religion  by  examples  drawn  from 
real  life.  The  writings  of  Kirwan  have  already  gained  an  extensive  popularity,

young,  and  of  the  religious  culture  without  which  no  ethical  inculcations  possess 
vitality.  These  important  themes  are  discussed  in  a  tone  of  earnest  appeal,  and 
illustrated  by  a  great  variety  of  incidents  drawn  from  the  experience  of  real  life.

It  has  seldom  fallen  to  our  lot  to  read  so  interesting  and  touching  a  narrative 
of  travel  as  abound  in  these  volumes ;  we  were  not  prepared  to  find  in  them  read- 
ing so  very  attractive,  nor  could  we  form  any  idea  that  such  a  narrative  of  toils 
and  sufferings  as  are  here  detailed  by  the  sufferer  himself  would  probably  present 
BO  many  points  of  instruction  to  the  general  reader. — Methodist  Quarterly  Review.

Boat  Life  in  Egypt, 

Boat  Life  in  Egypt  and  Nubia.  By  WM.  C.  PRIME.  Illustra- 
tions. 12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25 ;  Half  Calf,  $2  10. 
A  volume  of  travel  which  deals  in  no  dry  description,  but  is  full  of  the  spirit  of 
travel  incident.  Arabs  and  sunlight,  ruins  and  moonlight,  a  chibouk  with  Abd- 
el-Kader  Bey,  and  a  solitary  night  with  a  dead  sailor  on  the  deck  of  a  Nile  boat, 
a  seat  in  the  lap  of  Memnon,  and  a  seat  in  the  bazaar  on  the  shop  front  of  Sulei- 
man the  merchant — these  and  a  hundred  other  scenes  of  the  traveler's  experience 
appear  on  the  pages  which,  at  the  same  time,  give  clear,  reliable,  and  valuable 
accounts  of  Ancient  and  Modern  Egypt— all  these  make  it  the  most  thorough  and 
complete  work  on  Egypt  now  extant.  The  Appendix  contains  full  advice  to  trav- 
elers about  to  visit  Egypt,  and  also  a  history  and  explanation  of  the  hieroglyph- 
ics, which  is  not  contained  in  any  other  work.  Mr.  Prime's  own  excavations  and 
explorations,  especially  in  the  catacombs  at  Alexandria,  and  the  crocodile  pits  at 
Maabdeh,  are  among  the  most  interesting  and  valuable  parts  of  the  book. 

Tent  Life  in  the  Holy  Land, 

By  WM.  C.  PRIME.     Illustrations.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25 ;  Half 

Calf,  $2  10. 

Mr.  Prime  went  from  Egypt  to  the  Holy  Land.  This  book  contains  the  sketches 
of  horseback  travels  up  and  down  the  holy  hills.  Traveling  in  the  most  comfort- 
able style,  with  a  lady,  surrounded  by  Bedouin  and  Egyptian  attendants,  he  loit- 
ered through  the  sacred  scenes,  describing  them  while  he  describes  his  own  ad- 
ventures. Ladies  will  learn  from  this  book  and  Boat  Life  in  Egypt  what  inci- 
dents they  may  anticipate,  if  they  have  courage  to  undertake  the  journey.  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Prime  visited  Hebron,  entered  the  Mosque  of  Machpelah ;  at  Jerusalem 
they  passed  a  day  in  the  Mosque  of  Omar,  and  in  various  parts  of  the  Holy  Land 
they  succeeded  in  visiting  many  places  hitherto  unseen  by  travelers.  The  book 
is  enriched  with  a  thorough  history  of  the  Holy  Sepulchre  and  the  Holy  Cross. 
It  contains  a  remarkable  account  of  the  English  Princess  who  married  a  Bedouin 
at  Palmyra,  whose  residence  they  visited.  As  a  guide-book,  and  as  a  readable 
account  of  travel  and  adventure  in  the  Holy  Land,  it  has  no  equal. 

The  Old  House  by  the  River, 

By  WM.  C.  PRIME.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00;  Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

This  work  consists  of  a  series  of  highly  agreeable  sketches  illustrating  the  odd- 
ities and  delights  of  American  life  amid  rural  scenes  and  summer  pastimes.  The 
sketches  are  all  conceived  from  the  stand-point  of  an  introvertive  mind,  tena- 
cious of  old  fancies  and  affections.  The  object  of  the  book  is  clearly  to  excite  at- 
tention toward  the  past  and  its  attachments.  There  is  a  freshness  and  beauty  in 
the  details  that  come  from  the  heart  and  reach  the  heart  of  the  reader. 

Later  Years, 

By  WM.  C.  PRIME.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00;  Half  Calf,  $  1  85. 

"Later  Years,"  like  "The  Old  House  by  the  River,"  consists  of  sketches,  le- 
gends, descriptive  essays,  and  the  like.  It  is  distinguished  by  the  same  sweet- 
ness and  pathos  of  sentiment,  the  same  picturesqueness  and  vigor  of  description, 
and  the  same  graceful  flow  of  diction,  which  have  won  such  a  flattering  welcome 
to  former  productions  of  the  author.  He  has  made  his  place  good  among  our 
most  natural  and  forcible  writers  on  rural  scenes,  and  the  present  work  will  en- 
hance his  enviable  reputation.  Though  selecting  prose  for  his  medium  of  ex- 
pression, he  has  the  eye  and  heart  of  a  poet,  and  his  words  will  always  find  an 
echo  among  readers  of  a  poetical  temperament.

These  volumes  are  the  records  of  a  year  of  travel  in  some  of  the  most  interest- 
ing parts  of  the  world — Europe,  Asia,  and  Africa— by  a  writer  whose  sparkling 
and  brilliant  style,  keen  perception  of  the  beautiful,  and  active  imagination,  have 
lent  a  charm  to  his  writings  which  have  won  him  thousands  of  admirers  and 
friends.  They  are  not  dull  and  heavy  description,  but  are  full  of  personal  inci- 
dent and  adventure,  serving,  at  the  same  time,  to  engross  and  fasten  the  interest 
of  the  reader. 

Dwight's  Theology, 

Theology  Explained  and  Defended,  in  a  Series  of  Sermons.  By

Author.  Portrait.  4  vols.  8vo,  Muslin,  $6  00;  Sheep  extra, 
$6  50. 

As  a  work  of  systematic  theology  this  has  no  equal  in  the  language.  The  ad- 
mirable arrangement,  the  clear  and  eloquent  style,  the  masterly  and  profound  ar- 
gument, and  the  spirit  of  piety  and  reverence  which  characterize  its  pages,  have 
long  since  given  it  a  character  in  this  country  and  England  that  no  other  treatise 
has  obtained.  Dr.  Dwight's  fame  is  more  widely  extended  than  that  of  any  other 
American  divine,  with,  perhaps,  the  exception  of  Edwards.  His  discourses  are 
familiar  to  theologians  wherever  the  English  language  is  spoken.

Muslin,  $2  75 ;  Sheep  extra,  $3  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $4  75. 
A  valuable  and  interesting  work,  developing  the  causes  of  the  primitive  settle- 
ment of  the  colonies  of  New  England,  and  containing  the  most  compendious 
view  of  the  United  States  in  their  early  provincial  dependence  which  can  be 
found.     The  history  is  judicious,  impartial,  and  unimpeachably  accurate  and 
authentic.     Few  men  possessed  more  of  the  requisite  qualifications  for  producing 
a  work  of  this  character  than  were  enjoyed  by  Mr.  Neal  for  ascertaining  the  whole 
truth  upon  the  momentous  subject  which  he  describes.

kind  more  truly  interesting  to  every  intelligent  American  than  that  of  the  Com- 
monwealth of  England ;  and  there  is  no  form  in  which  it  can  be  so  perfectly  at- 
tained as  in  the  personal  history  of  the  great  leaders  of  that  age  and  movement.

his  fair  cousins  in  the  Old  Dominion  are  already  partly  known  to  the  readers  of 

"  Harper's  Magazine."    Their  great  literary  and  artistic  ability  render  them  well 

worthy  of  the  permanent  and  beautiful  form  in  which  they  are  now  issued,  and 

the  volume  can  not  fail  to  be  a  household  favorite  with  all  level's  of  the  humorous 

and  beautiful.    The  life-like  illustrations  have  introduced  to  the  American  people 

a  pencil  quite  equal  to  either  Leeche's  or  Doyle's,  and  with  a  touch  of  the  humor

By  ABRAHAM  MILLS,  A.M.     2  vols.  8vo,  Muslin,  $3  50;   Half 

Calf,  $5  50. 

The  plan  of  this  work  is  of  a  very  comprehensive  character.  It  embraces  the 
whole  field  'of  English  literature,  from  the  origin  and  formation  of  the  Anglo- 
Saxon  language  to  the  close  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Account  is  given  of 
nearly  all  the  noteworthy  poets,  historians,  novelists,  dramatists,  divines,  and 
philosophers  in  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  during  the  space  of  more  than  twelve 
centuries,  with  critical  notices  of  their  writings,  and  choice  extracts  sufficiently 
numerous  to  give  a  fair  impression  of  the  genius  and  peculiar  style  of  each  in- 
dividual. Such  a  compendium  must  be  a  treasure  to  all  who  desire  to  have  the 
gems  of  British  literature  made  accessible  without  labor,  and  without  the  expense 
of  a  large  library.

This  work  is  at  once  one  of  the  most  charming  and  most  instructive  specimens 
of  biographical  literature  in  our  language.  The  admirable  autobiography  of 
Madame  Gnyon  is  the  basis  of  the  work,  and  to  this  the  accomplished  pen  of 
Professor  Upham  has  added  numerous  facts,  derived  from  her  own  writings  and 
from  other  sources,  which  enable  the  reader  to  obtain  a  complete  view  of  her 
history,  and  to  estimate  aright  her  rare  intellectual  endowments,  high  attain- 
ments, and  the  beautiful  purity  of  her  character.  Not  the  least  attractive  por- 
tion of  the  work  consists  in  the  notices  which  are  given  in  the  course  of  the  nar-

BERS.    4  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $3  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $6  40. 
Mr.  Chambers's  edition  is  the  completest  presentation  of  the  Scottish  poet  in 
existence.     The  various  compositions  are  here  strung  in  strict  chronological  order 
upon  the  Memoir,  that  they  may  render  up  the  whole  light  which  they  are  qual- 
ified to  throw  upon  the  history  of  the  life  and  mental  progress  of  Bums,  while  a 
new  significance  is  given  to  them  by  their  being  read  in  connection  with  the 
current  of  events  and  emotions  which  led  to  their  production.     The  result  of 
this  plan  is  not  merely  a  great  amount  of  new  biographical  detail,  but  a  new 
sense,  efficacy,  and  feeling  in  the  writings  of  the  poet  himself.

Half  Calf,  $6  75. 

The  superiority  of  this  edition  over  any  other  published  consists  in  its  conve- 
nience of  form,  its  low  price,  its  accuracy,  its  neatness  of  mechanical  execution, 
and,  above  all,  its  completeness.  It  comprises  not  only  all  the  essays,  letters, 
poems,  criticisms,  tales,  descriptions,  and  dramatic  works  of  Addison,  but  also 
the  whole  of  the  "  Spectator;"  this  last  being  a  new  and  very  useful  arrangement, 
inasmuch  as  many  of  the  finest  essays,  narratives,  and  characters  in  that  admira- 
ble series  were  contributed  jointly  by  Addison  and  others.  Care  has  been  taken 
to  designate  not  only  the  papers  contributed  by  Addison,  but  also  those  furnished 
by  each  of  the  other  writers,  and,  in  all  other  respects,  the  edition  of  the  "  Spec-

an  important  and  valuable  memorial  to  the  rare  gifts  of  one  of  the  most  profound 
thinkers  of  the  present  century.     Professor  Shedd's  essay  is  considered  one  of 
the  most  intelligent,  profound,  and  discriminating  discussions  of  a  philosophical 
theme  to  be  found  in  American  literature.    It  is  singularly  lucid  in  thought,  con- 
secutive in  argument,  and  chaste  and  appropriate  in  expression  —  and  is  well 
worthy  of  the  place  which  it  occupies  at  the  side  of  President  Marsh's  Preliminary

mens of  philosophical  composition.

Muslin,  $1  75;  Half  Calf,  $2  75. 

A  work  presenting  a  charming  picture  of  the  domestic  habits,  literary  enter- 
prises, and  characteristic  moral  features  of  its  eminent  subject.  Mr.  Southey's 
connection  with  the  progress  of  English  literature  during  the  early  part  of  the 
present  century,  his  strong  political  predilections,  the  extent  and  variety  of  his 
productions,  and  his  singular  devotion  to  a  purely  intellectual  life,  make  his  bi-

O,  dear  and  honored  Southey  (referring  to  the  Life  of  Wesley),  the  favorite 
of  my  library  among  many  favorites!  the  book  I  can  read  for  the  twentieth  time 
with  delight  when  I  can  read  nothing  else  at  all !  this  darling  book !  I  never 
met  a  human  being  who,  in  his  mien  and  aspect,  as  well  as  in  the  whole  habit 
of  life,  manifested  such  a  stamp  and  signature  of  virtue  as  to  make  one's  judg- 
ment of  them  a  matter  of  intuition  rather  than  the  result  of  continued  examin- 
ation.— COLERIDGE.

By  ROBERT  SOUTHEY.     12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents ;  Half  Calf,  $1  60. 

"What  wisdom  and  poetry  lie  scattered  about  the  pages!  On  one  we  see  the 
amplitude  of  his  learning  ;  on  another,  the  author's  peculiar  strain  of  sentiment ; 
his  pure  Saxon  English  in  a  third.  The  common-place  book  of  a  reader  of  such 
out-of-the-way  lore  as  Southey  loved  could  not  fail  to  be  replete  with  amusement, 
and  possibly  substantial  information.  It  is  a  work  which,  whatever  may  be  its 
faults,  "  the  world  will  not  willingly  let  die ;"  which  will  take  a  permanent  place 
upon  the  book-shelf,  and  be  read  and  enjoyed  when  his  ponderous  epics  shall 
have  passed  into  oblivion. — The  Critic.

Smith's  Life  and  Letters. 


A  Memoir  of  the  Reverend  Sydney  Smith.  By  his  Daughter, 
LADY  HOLLAND.  With  a  Selection  from  his  Letters,  Edited  by 
Mrs.  AUSTIN.  2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $3  70. 
The  Reverend  Sydney  Smith,  the  wit,  the  satirist,  the  determined  antagonist 
of  Dissenters  and  Tories,  is  here  presented  in  the  familiar  intercourse  of  domes- 
tic life.  This  work  abounds  with  choice  sayings,  and,  though  without  a  tincture 
of  Boswell,  has  many  of  the  attractions  of  that  worthy's  Life  of  Dr.  Johnson. 
The  letters  range  over  a  period  of  44  years,  and  amount  to  upward  of  560.  Writ- 
ten in  a  way  of  rapid  allusion  to  what  was  passing  in  fashionable,  literary,  and 
political  society,  they  throw  much  light  on  the  great  questions  of  the  time,  in 
which  the  writer  bore  so  conspicuous  a  part,  and  complete  by  confirming  the 
character  of  the  man  given  in  the  Memoir. 

Sydney  Smith's  Moral  Philosophy, 

An  Elementary  Treatise  on  Moral  Philosophy,  delivered  at  the 

Royal  Institution  in  the  Years  1804,  1805,  and  1806.      12mo, 

Muslin,  $1  00;  Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

Sydney  Smith's  remarks  are  always  lively,  pointed,  and  apposite,  betraying  a 
familiar  knowledge  of  the  world,  and  a  quick  perception  of  the  bearing  and  char- 
acter of  current  events ;  while  their,  caustic  wit  is  usually  attempered  with  an 
inexhaustible  fountain  of  good  humor.  The  work  is  prefaced  by  a  commenda- 
tory letter  by  Lord  Jeffrey,  written  but  a  few  days  before  his  death,  wherein  he 
says  that  these  lectures  "will  do  their  author  as  much  credit  as  any  thing  he 
ever  wrote." 

Moore's  Life  of  Byron, 

Letters  and  Journals  of  Lord  Byron.    With  Notices  of  his  Life. 

By  THOMAS  MOORE.     2  vols.  8vo,  Sheep,  $3  00  ;  Half  Calf,  5  00. 

Considered  merely  as  a  composition,  it  deserves  to  be  classed  among  the  best 
specimens  of  English  prose  which  our  age  has  produced.  Of  the  deep  and  pain- 
ful interest  which  this  book  excites  no  abstract  can  give  a  just  notion.  So  sad 
and  dark  a  story  is  scarcely  to  be  found  in  any  work  of  fiction  ;  and  we  are  little 
disposed  to  envy  the  moralist  who  can  read  it  without  being  softened. — MAC-

Life  of  Lord  Byron.     By  JOHN  GALT.     18mo,  Muslin,  40  cents. 

Mr.  Gait  enjoyed  the  advantages  consequent  upon  a  long  and  intimate  ac- 
quaintance with  the  noble  poet,  and  has  given  a  striking  and  satisfactory  de- 
scription of  his  character.  One  of  the  greatest  merits  of  the  work  is  its  strict  im- 
partiality; the  writer  is  evidently  free  from  prejudice,  either  favorable  or  adverse 
to  his  subject,  and  tells  what  he  knows,  or  believes,  to  be  the  truth  without  bias.

Haydon's  Autobiography, 

Life  of  Benjamin  Eobert  Haydon,  Historical  Painter,  from  his 
Autobiography  and  Journals.  Edited  and  Compiled  by  TOM 
TAYLOR,  of  the  Inner  Temple,  Esq.  2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  f  1  75 ; 
Half  Calf,  $3  45. 

This  is  a  work  of  uncommon  interest,  describing  the  artistic  career,  the  per- 
sonal experience,  and  the  perpetual  struggles  and  difficulties  of  the  celebrated 
English  painter,  drawn  from  his  own  autobiographical  narrative  in  part,  and 
from  his  own  copious  journals,  with  brief  editorial  comments  to  preserve  the 
continuity  of  the  story.  Haydon  was  a  decided  original.  His  journals  give  a 
vivid  portraiture  of  the  man,  and  are  marked  by  deep  pathos.  They  are  full  of 
anecdotes  of  celebrated  men,  and  contain  many  valuable  criticisms  upon  art. 
Haydon  was  in  relations  with  the  Duke  of  Wellington,  Lord  Brougham,  Sir  Rob- 
ert Peel,  and  other  British  statesmen,  of  whom  he  gives  a  variety  of  interesting 
reminiscences.  His  anecdotes  of  Wordsworth,  Leigh  Hunt,  Keats,  Shelley,  Sir 
Walter  Scott,  as  well  as  of  several  contemporary  painters,  are  attractive  features 
of  the  book.

with  Reminiscences  of  Friends  and  Contemporaries.     2  vols. 

12mo,  Muslin,  $1  20;  Half  Calf,  $3  20. 

This  work  abounds  with  frequent  anecdotes  of  Coleridge,  Wordsworth,  Shelley, 
Byron,  Keats,  Lamb,  Hazlitt,  and  Moore ;  gives  a  detailed  exposition  of  Hunt's 
connection  with  the  Examiner,  and  his  imprisonment  for  libel;  his  residence  in 
Italy;  his  return  to  England,  and  his  various  literary  projects;  and  describes, 
with  the  most  child-like  frankness,  the  present  state  of  his  opinions  and  feelings 
on  the  manifold  questions  which  have  given  a  direction  to  his  intellectual  activ- 
ity through  life.  Whatever  impressions  it  may  leave  as  to  the  character  of  the 
author,  there  can  be  but  one  opinion  as  to  the  fascination  of  his  easy,  sprightly, 
gossipping  style,  and  the  interest  which  attaches  to  the  literary  circles,  whose 
folding-doors  he  not  ungracefully  throws  open.

The  subjects  embrace  almost  every  topic  of  a  pleasurable  and  refining  kind  one 
can  think  of  in  the  whole  round  of  literature  and  experience — poetry,  love,  char- 
acter, human  pursuits,  criticism,  biography,  and  fantastic  speculations  of  all 
conceivable  sorts.

A  work  of  peculiar  interest  to  American  readers.  In  addition  to  a  rich  store 
of  delightful  personal  reminiscences,  genial  and  graceful  criticisms  on  old  English 
authors,  as  well  as  on  contemporary  celebrities,  and  copious  selections  from  their 
choicest  productions,  Miss  Mitford  presents  several  agreeable  sketches  of  Ameri- 
can authors  and  other  distinguished  men,  including  Daniel  Webster,  Halleck, 
Hawthorne,  Whittier,  Wendell  Holmes,  &c.  She  shows  a  sincere  love  for  this 
country,  and  a  cordial  appreciation  of  its  institutions  and  its  literature.

During  the  last  fifty  years  there  have  been  few  books  of  such  peculiar  interest

literary  reputation — Byron,  Sir  E.  Bulwer  (who  contributes  an  original  poem), 
James,  D' Israeli,  Marryat,  Savage  Landor,  Campbell,  L.  E.  L.,  the  Smiths,  Shel-

Life  and  Letters  of  Thomas  Campbell, 

Edited  by  W.  BEATTIE,  M.D.  With  an  Introductory  Letter,  by 
WASHINGTON  IRVING.  2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  00 ;  Half  Calf, 
$3  70. 

A  charming  piece  of  biography.  In  any  hands,  the  subject  could  not  be  with- 
out intense  interest,  and  as  it  has  here  been  treated,  possesses  a  fascination  rare- 
ly found  in  any  recent  production.  Free  use  is  made  of  the  letters  of  Campbell, 
many  of  which  are  of  the  highest  order  of  epistolary  composition,  abounding  in 
those  delicate  and  expressive  touches  which  reveal  the  heart  of  the  man  and  the 
genius  of  the  poet  in  the  purest  and  most  beautiful  light.  The  present  edition 
is  introduced  by  a  letter  of  Washington  Irving  to  the  publishers,  in  which  our 
admirable  countryman  relates  some  personal  reminiscences  of  Campbell  with  ex- 
quisite grace  and  felicity. 

Memoirs  of  Abernethy, 

Memoirs  of  John  Abernethy,  F.R.S.  With  a  View  of  his  Writ- 
ings, and  Character.  By  GEORGE  MACILWAIN,  F.R.S.  12mo, 
Muslin,  $1  00;  Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

Abernethy,  while  living,  became  known  most  widely  by  the  circulation  of 
characteristic  anecdotes  of  his  intercourse  with  patients.  But  they  revealed  only 
one  side  of  his  extraordinary  character,  and  the  amusing  play  of  his  wit  and 
tact;  we  have  here,  in  a  popular  form,  better  means  of  appreciating  his  great 
ability  and  distinguished  character  as  a  man  of  science,  a  teacher,  and  a  practi- 
tioner. The  author  writes  as  a  pupil  and  a  friend,  with  a  vigorous  and  free  pen. 
It  is  a  very  instructive  as  well  as  lively  and  amusing  book. 

Sir  Hudson  Lowe's  Letters  and  Journals, 

History  of  the  Captivity  of  Napoleon  at  St.  Helena ;  from  the 
Letters  and  Journals  of  the  late  Lieut.  Gen.  Sir  HUDSON  LOWE, 
and  Official  Documents  not  before  made  Public.  With  Portrait 
and  Map.  By  WILLIAM  FORSYTII,  M.A.  2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin, 
$1  75  ;  Half  Calf,  $3  45. 

A  complete  narrative  of  the  Emperor  Napoleon's  life  at  St.  Helena,  founded  on 
the  letters  and  other  posthumous  documents  of  the  late  Sir  Hudson  Lowe.  It 
defends  the  conduct  of  Sir  Hudson  in  the  treatment  of  his  illustrious  captive. 
The  work  is  important  as  a  contribution  to  the  history  of  one  of  the  most  re- 
markable political  measures  of  modern  times.  No  one  who  pretends  to  the  ex- 
ercise of  impartiality  in  his  judgment  of  Napoleon  will  fail  to  examine  the  inter- 
esting evidence  presented  in  these  volumes.

Curran,  the  celebrated  Irish  orator,  was  a  man  of  rare  genius  and  endowments  ; 
he  formed  the  centre  around  which  were  gathered  a  number  of  noticeable  men. 
No  one  who  wishes  to  gain  an  insight  into  the  character  of  the  leading  men  of 
Ireland  during  the  last  generation  should  fail  to  read  this  brilliant  book,  which 
Lord  Brougham  has  characterized  as  uone  of  the  most  extraordinary  pieces  of 
biography  ever  produced."

Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

Distinguished  by  the  weight  of  thought,  temperance  of  expression,  and  various 
learning  characteristic  of  the  historical  productions  of  M.  Guizot,  this  volume 
will  be  found  an  indispensable  aid  in  the  study  of  French  literature.  The  merits 
of  the  great  dramatist  and  his  leading  contemporaries  are  discussed  with  rare 
critical  discrimination  and  winning  felicity  of  language.

$1  00  ;  Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

The  views  presented  by  Guizot  in  this  work  are  the  fruit  of  profound  study  and 
reflection.  Acute,  logical,  and  unim passioned,  he  subjects  the  immortal  produc- 
tions of  Shakspeare  to  a  rigid  analysis.  As  the  deliberate  judgment  of  one  of  the 
most  discreet  and  intelligent  writers  in  French  literature,  on  numerous  important 
questions  of  dramatic  art,  this  volume  must  be  regarded  as  a  most  acceptable 
contribution  to  Shaksperian  criticism.

gland's annals.  The  names  of  Pitt,  Fox,  Burke,  Sheridan,  Canning,  Grattan^ 
and  Curran  appear  in  the  historic  narrative  in  their  various  degrees  of  celebrity, 
and  are  characterized  always  with  force  and  freedom  of  style.

2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $3  50 ;  Half  Calf,  $5  20. 

The  reign  of  Louis  XIV.  may  be  said  to  include  all  that  was  Interesting  in'the 
seventeenth  century.  Frederic  the  Great,  in  sober  earnestness,  declared  that  the 
"petticoat  history  of  the  seventeenth  century  remained  to  be  written."  We  re- 
joice that  the  task  has  been  undertaken  by  a  lady,  since  to  a  feminine  mind  alone 
could  the  mysterious  motive  and  agencies  engaged  be  at  all  intelligible. — London

When  a  young  man  of  eighteen  asks  for  a  History  of  England  there  is  no  re- 
source but  to  give  him  Hume.  David  Hume  is  the  master  of  the  field.  There 
is  not  a  page  of  his  that  we  could  not  correct  and  amplify,  nevertheless  we  can 
not  do  without  him ;  we  have  not  the  resolution,  nor,  we  may  add,  the  genius  to 
supply  a  substitute.  On  the  whole  we  expect  to  see  no  rival  to  Hume  in  our 
times.— Times.

GUIZOT.  With  Maps  and  Engravings.  A  new  cheap  Edition, 
with  Notes,  by  Rev.  H.  H.  MILMAN.  To  which  is  added  a  com-

vols.  12mo  (uniform  with  Hume)  Muslin,  $3  75 ;  Sheep  extra, 
$4  50 ;  Half  Calf,  $9  60. 

Gibbon's  great  work  is  acknowledged  to  be  a  master-piece  of  historical  com- 
position. It  was  the  work  of  the  author's  life.  To  its  preparation  he  brought 
unwearied  industry  and  unbounded  learning.  It  is  replete  with  wit,  philosophy, 
and  eloquence.  In  it,  for  the  first  time,  has  been  bridged  over  the  abyss  between 
ancient  and  modern  times.  Notwithstanding  the  exceptions  which  have  been 
taken  to  various  portions  of  the  work,  all  competent  critics  acknowledge  that, 
for  general  accuracy  and  impartiality,  it  has  no  rival  in  historical  literature.

The  author  has  now  incontestahly  won  for  himself  the  title  of  the  historian  of

Mr.  Grote  is  unrivaled  in  the  erudition  and  genius  with  which  he  has  revived

tory our  intellects  and  our  hearts. — Times. 

The  acute  intelligence,  the  discipline,  faculty  of  intellect,  and  the  excellent  eru- 
dition every  one  would  look  for  from  Mr.  Grote;  but  they  will  find  here  also  the 
element  which  harmonizes  these,  and  without  which,  on  such  a  theme,  an  order- 
ly and  solid  work  could  not  have  been  written.  Poetry  and  Philosophy  attend 
the  historian  on  either  hand,  and  do  not  impede  or  misguide  his  steps. — Exam-

From  the  Accession  of  Henry  VII.  to  the  Death  of  George  II. 

8vo,  Sheep  extra,  $1  75  ;  Half  Calf,  $2  50. 

Mr.  Hallam  is  far  better  qualified  than  any  other  writer  of  our  times  for  the 
task  he  has  accomplished.  He  has  great  industry  and  great  acuteness;  his 
knowledge  is  extensive,  various,  and  profound ;  his  mind  is  equally  distinguished 
by  the  amplitude  of  its  grasp  and  by  the  delicacy  of  its  touch.  On  a  general 
survey,  we  do  not  scruple  to  pronounce  the  "Constitutional  History"  the  most 
important  book  that  we  ever  read. — MACATJLAY. 

This  is  a  production  of  the  greatest  value,  and  distinguished,  like  his  other 
works,  for  research,  judgment,  tajste,  and  elegance. — Chancellor  KENT. 

Hallam's  Literature, 

Introduction  to  the  Literature  of  Europe,  during  the  Fifteenth,

vols.  8vo,  Sheep  extra,  $3  50 ;  Half  Calf,  $5  00. 
This  edition  will  naturally  find  its  way  into  all  libraries.    No  work  on  foreign 
history  or  politics  can  be  more  instructive  or  useful  to  American  statesmen.    The 
Edinburgh  Review  pronounces  it  "the  most  important  contribution  to  literary 
history  received  for  many  years ;"  and  a  writer  in  the  London  Quarterly  Review 
says,  "  To  all  lovers  of  literature  it  will  be  acceptable ;  to  the  young,  we  conceive, 
invaluable.     We  almost  wish  that  we  could  renew  our  own  youth,  in  order  to 
profit  by  its  instructions;  it  would  have  prevented  us  from  reading  a  vast  num- 
ber of  very  bad  books,  and  induced  us,  perhaps,  to  read  some  good  ones.11 

Hallam's  Middle  Ages, 

State  of  Europe  daring  the  Middle  Ages.     By  HENRY  HALLAM. 

8vo,  Sheep  extra,  $1*75  ;  Half  Calf,  $2  50. 

The  object  of  this  work  is  to  trace  the  progress  of  Europe  from  the  middle  of 
the  fifth  to  the  end  of  the  fifteenth  century ;  from  the  establishment  of  Clovis  in 
Gaul  to  the  invasion  of  Italy  by  Charles  the  Eighth.  The  plan  of  this  work  is 
more  extensive  than  that  of  Robertson's,  its  views  more  comprehensive,  and  its 
information  more  copious  and  critical.  It  is  written  throughout  with  a  spirit  of 
freedom  and  liberality  that  does  credit  to  the  author.

The  most  interesting  and  fascinating  work  of  this  historian,  which  joins  the 
wonders  of  romance  and  the  most  exquisite  graces  of  style  to  the  philosophy  of 
history. 

Robertson's  Charles  V, 

History  of  the  Emperor  Charles  V. ;  with  a  View  of  the  Progress

His  writings  are  equally  remarkable  for  their  elegance  and  perspicuity.  In 
his  History  of  Charles  V.,  the  knowledge  displayed  by  the  historian,  and  the  en- 
larged and  liberal  epirit  of  his  philosophical  inquiries  are  not  the  least  worthy 
of  commendation. — CHAMBERS. 

Robertson's  Scotland  and  Ancient  India,

Russell's  Modern  Europe, 

History  of  Modern  Europe,  with  a  View  of  the  Progress  of  Soci-

1763.  By  W.  RUSSELL.  With  a  Continuance  of  the  History,  by 
WM.  JONES.  Engravings.  3  vols.  8vo,  Sheep,  $4  50 ;  Half  Calf, 
$6  75. 

The  history  of  modern  Europe,  by  Dr.  Russell,  has  always  been  prized  for  its 
comprehensiveness.  It  includes  the  most  important  period  in  the  annals  of  man- 
kind, as  the  author's  narrative  introduces  the  era  when  the  renovation  of  society 
commenced,  after  the  protracted  continuance  of  that  mental  gloom  which,  during 
several  centuries,  covered  the  civilized  world.  Says  Chambers  of  this  work, 
"It  is  a  production  at  once  so  succinct,  yet  so  perspicuous,  comprehensive,  and 
entertaining,  that  all  rivalry  appears  to  be  precluded." 

Beaumarchais  and  his  Times.

HENRY  S.  EDWARDS.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25;  Half  Calf,  $2  10. 
The  "Life  of  Beaumarchais"  constitutes  a  valuable  addition  to  the  social  his- 
tory of  France  in  the  eighteenth  century.     Upon  the  shelves  which  contain  the 
voluminous  memoirs  of  French  society,  none  are  more  curious,  authentic,  and 
amusing  than  those  which  we  now  recommend  to  the  attention  of  our  readers.—

Miss  Strickland's  Queens  of  Scotland. 

Lives  of  the  Queens  of  Scotland  and  English  Princesses  connect- 
ed with  the  Regal  Succession  of  Great  Britain.  By  AGNES 
STRICKLAND.  Complete  in  8  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00  per  Vol- 
ume; Sets  in  Half  Calf,  $14  80. 

The  author  of  this  great  historical  work  combines  a  feminine  susceptibility  to 
moral  worth  with  a  masculine  power  of  research  and  systematic  narrative.  She 
has  spared  no  pains  in  the  investigation  of  facts,  ransacked  rare  archives  and 
dusty  depositories  for  all  accessible  documents,  and  has  presented  the  fruit  of  her 
labors  in  a  style  of  equal  force  and  gracefulness.  Her  sympathies  always  incline 
her  to  take  sides  with  the  beautiful,  the  oppressed,  and  the  suffering,  but  she 
never  permits  the  indulgence  of  her  benevolent  feelings  at  the  expense  of  histor- 
ical truth. 

Helps's  Spanish  Conquest, 

The  Spanish  Conquest  in  America,  and  its  Relation  to  the  His- 
tory of  Slavery,  and  to  the  Government  of  Colonies.    By  ARTHUR 
HELPS.     3  vols.  Large  12mo,  Muslin,  $3  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $5  50. 
An  elaborate  and  complete  history  of  the  Conquest  of  Spanish  America,  from 
the  time  of  Columbus  to  that  of  Hernando  Cortez.     Though  portions  of  the  work 
have  been  ably  treated  in  Irving' s  Columbus  and  Prescott's  Peru  and  Mexico,  yet, 
as  a  connected  whole,  the  ground  is  almost  unbroken.    The  work  is  written  with 
special  reference  to  the  elucidation  of  the  establishment  of  slavery  in  this  coun- 
try, and  on  that  subject  contains  many  interesting  developments — though  it  is 
not  sectarian  or  partizan  in  its  tone.     The  subject  is  one  of  the  most  important 
in  modern  history — the  author  is  favorably  known  as  a  sound  thinker  and  a 
scholar  of  rare  accomplishments — and  his  work,  learned,  scholar-like,  and  yet  pop- 
ular, has  been  pronounced,  by  leading  critical  authority  in  England,  to  be  one  of 
the  most  important  and  valuable  contributions  to  historical  literature  recently 
published  in  that  country. 

Thirlwall's  Greece,

If  my  early  friend  Dr.  Thirlwall's  "  History  of  Greece"  had  appeared  a  few 
years  earlier,  I  should  probably  never  have  conceived  the  design  of  the  present 
work  at  all.  Having  studied,  of  course,  the  same  evidences  as  Dr.  Thirlwall,  I 
am  better  enabled  than  others  to  bear  testimony  to  the  learning,  the  sagacity,  and 
the  candor  which  pervades  his  excellent  work.—  Preface  to  Grote's  "History  of 
Greece." 

Rollin's  Ancient  History, 

The  Ancient  History  of  the  Egyptians,  Carthaginians,  Assyrians,

Rollin's  Ancient  History  is  indispensable  to  any  one  who  wishes  to  acquire  a 

connected  view  of  the  ancient  monarchies.    The  sound  moral  tone  of  the  work, 

and  its  constant  regard  to  the  great  interests  of  religion,  have  gained  high  and 

deserved  respect  for  it.

Alison's  History  of  Europe.    First  Series, 

From  the  commencement  of  the  French  Revolution,  in  1789,  to 
the  Restoration  of  the  Bourbons  in  1815.      In  addition  to  the 
Notes  on  Chapter  LXXVI. ,  which  correct  the  errors  of  the  orig- 
inal work  concerning  the  United  States,  a  copious  Analytical  In- 
dex has  been  appended  to  this  American  edition.     4  vols.  8vo, 
Muslin,  $5  00 ;  Sheep  extra,  $5  50 ;  Half  Calf,  $9  00. 
Alison  combines  the  minutest  attention  to  detail,  the  utmost  carefulness  in  au- 
thenticating facts,  with  the  greatest  facility  in  deducing  principles  and  laying 
them  before  the  reader.     His  is  by  far  the  most  remarkable  historical  work  of 
the  century.    It  exhibits  remarkable  diligence,  and  does  impartial  justice  on 
higher  principles  than  have  yet  been  announced  in  history. 

Alison's  History  of  Europe.    Second  Series. 

From  the  Fall  of  Napoleon,  in  1815,  to  the  Accession  of  Louis

Sheep  extra,  $5  50 ;  Half  Calf,  $9  00. 

The  merits  of  Sir  Archibald  Alison  as  a  historian  need  not  be  commented  on  in 
order  to  call  attention  to  this  important  work.  He  brings  industry,  high  culture, 
indefatigable  perseverance,  an  active  and  elegant  mind,  and  rare  powers  of  de- 
scription, to  the  accomplishment  of  a  task  in  which  he  evidently  takes  a  cordial 
delight.  Viewing  his  work  as  an  elaborate  digest  of  the  events  of  the  age,  ac- 
companied with  frequent  vivid  and  expressive  portraitures  of  conspicuous  scenes, 
it  must  be  regarded  as  a  welcome  contribution  to  our  resources  on  European  his- 
tory, and  an  indispensable  aid  to  the  studies  of  every  intelligent  reader.

The  object  of  the  work  is  to  furnish  a  regular  plan  for  the  important  study  of 
history,  and  to  unite  with  the  detail  of  facts  so  much  of  reflection  as  to  aid  the 
mind  in  the  formation  of  rational  views  of  the  causes  and  consequences  of  events, 
as  well  as  the  policy  of  the  actors.     The  author  has  also  endeavored  to  give  due 
share  of  attention  to  the  state  of  the  arts  and  sciences,  the  religion,  laws,  gov- 
ernment, and  manners  of  nations,  which  he  has  treated  in  distinct  sections  and 
at  particular  periods.

This  volume  is  devoted  to  the  civil  wars  of  France  during  the  16th  and  17th 
centuries,  and  throws  much  light  on  the  events  of  that  important  period.     Pro- 
fessor Ranke  is  always  discreet  and  cautious ;  his  principles  of  historical  research 
are  sound ;  and  he  never  fails  to  present  the  subject  to  which  he  devotes  his  at- 
tention in  a  new  aspect. 

Wilkinson's  Ancient  Egyptians,

showing  the  character  of  the  domestic  life,  political  institutions,  religious  observ- 
ances, and  industrial  arts  of  that  remarkable  people.     It  is  the  product  of  long 
and  laborious  research  ;  it  bears  the  stamp  of  thoroughness  on  every  page  ;  it  is 
copious  without  being  confused ;  the  descriptive  portions  are  crowded  with  in- 
formation, while  they  are  couched  in  a  flowing  and  attractive  style,  clothing  the 
hoary  and  wasted  Past  in  a  life-like  costume.     The  volume  is  illustrated  by  a 
multitude  of  engravings,  which  make  the  explanations  of  the  writer  perfectly 
clear  to  the  eye.     It  will  be  welcomed  by  the  student  of  profane  history,  and  no 
less  by  the  searcher  of  the  Scriptures,  as  an  efficient  and  most  interesting  aid  in 
their  pursuits.

numerous  Wood  Engravings.  12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents;  Half 
Calf,  $1  60. 

The  London  Examiner  pronounces  this  a  u  charming  volume,  to  which  we  may 
safely  promise  a  circulation  without  limit,  and  as  unbounded  popularity.  The 
great  feature  of  the  abridgment  is,  the  introduction  of  the  principal  Biblical  and 
historical  illustrations  (forming  a  separate  section  of  the  original  work)  into  the 
narrative,  which,  without  sacrificing  any  matter  of  importance,  makes  the  story 
more  compact,  useful,  and,  indeed,  complete  in  its  abridged  than  it  was  in  its 
original  form."

Engravings  in  the  English  Edition.  8vo,  Muslin,  $2  25 ;  Half 
Calf,  $3  25. 

This  deeply  interesting  volume  describes  the  result  of  a  second  expedition  de- 
voted to  exploring  the  remains  of  the  ruined  cities  of  the  East.  The  discoveries 
are  related  with  graphic  beauty,  and  are  equally  striking  with  those  before  pub- 
lished, and  throw  new  light  on  many  obscure  passages  of  Holy  Writ,  as  well  as 
on  the  social  and  domestic  characteristics  of  numerous  Orieutal  regions,  concern- 
ing which  we  know  comparatively  little.

These  lectures  comprise  a  series  of  brilliant  discursive  commentaries  on  the 
salient  points  of  French  history,  from  the  time  of  Charlemagne  to  that  of  Louis 
XIV.  Of  the  twenty-four  lectures  which  compose  the  volume,  three  are  devoted 
to  the  "  Power  of  the  Pen  in  France,"  and  discuss  in  a  masterly  style  the  char- 
acter and  influence  of  Abeilard,  Bernard,  Montaigne,  Descartes,  Pascal,  and  other 
eminent  French  writers. 

Waddington's  Church  History,

Half  Calf,  $2  75. 

The  work  was  expressly  written  for  and  published  by  the  Society  for  the  Dif- 
fusion of  Useful  Knowledge,  a  sufficient  guarantee  for  value  and  soundness  of 
opinion,  even  had  not  the  amazing  sale  of  above  one  hundred  thousand  copies  in 
England  given  it  the  surest  proof  of  general  approbation.  It  is  recognized  gen- 
erally by  theologians  as  most  clear,  accurate,  and  comprehensive ;  and  the  ar- 
rangement is  esteemed  particularly  judicious.

ligion and  philosophy  by  his  researches,  appear  in  these  volumes,  which  are  de- 
servedly placed  among  the  most  valuable  treasures  of  sacred  and  profane  litera-

In  the  new  edition  of  this  incomparable  Church  History  a  thorough  revision 
of  the  translation  has  been  made,  with  additional  references  to  the  English  and 
later  German  works.  The  alterations  are  numerous,  giving  more  exactly  the 
sense  of  the  original,  and  correcting  frequent  mistranslations. 

The  work,  when  finished,  will  form  a  complete  and  authentic  history  of  the 
Christian  Church  to  A.D.  1848,  composed  with  abundant  and  careful  learning, 
especially  adapted  to  the  wants  of  students,  and  indispensable  as  a  guide  to  any 
who  would  examine  the  original  sources. 

The  civil  history  of  the  Middle  Ages  can  not  be  understood  without  some  ac- 
quaintance with  ecclesiastical  history,  so  that  this  work  has  an  interest  for  all 
classes  of  historical  inquirers.  The  text  is  brief  and  compact,  the  notes  crowded 
with  exact  information.  This  conciseness  makes  the  book  of  the  utmost  value 
for  consultation  and  reference,  or  as  a  guide  to  the  teacher  and  the  student. — Ex-

the  Publishers  from  Sir  WILLIAM  HAMILTON. 

In  the  present  state  of  metaphysical  inquiry,  the  writings  of  Sir  William  Ham- 
ilton are  indispensable  for  reference,  if  not  for  authority.  The  portion  of  the 
volume  relating  to  education  possesses  the  greatest  interest  for  the  general  read- 
er, while  the  student  of  the  history  of  philosophy  will  find  in  the  papers  devoted 
to  that  subject  an  overflowing  treasury  of  learning,  ample  quotations  from  writ- 
ers eminent  in  their  day,  but  now  little  read,  and  a  store  of  critical  suggestions. 
The  present  edition  is  prefaced  by  an  appropriate  Essay  by  Robert  Turnbull, 
D.D.,  presenting  a  luminous  view  of  the  progress  of  philosophical  speculation 
from  the  dawn  of  philosophy  among  the  nations  of  the  East  to  its  latest  develop- 
ments in  Continental  Europe.

The  devotional  writings  of  the  late  William  Jay  have  found  intimate  access  to 
the  hearts  of  the  Christian  world.  His  excellent  influence  will  not  soon  pass 
away.  Unequaled  for  his  pious  simplicity,  his  winning  unction,  his  unaffected 
devotion,  his  apt  use  of  Scriptural  phraseology,  and  his  genuine  religious  wis- 
dom, he  has  left  an  enviable  reputation,  of  which  these  volumes  form  an  appro- 
priate and  interesting  memorial.  They  will  long  hold  a  cherished  place  in  the 
library  of  practical  religious  works,  and  prove  equally  acceptable  to  evangelical 
Christians  of  every  name.

Dr,  Livingstone's  South  Africa, 

Missionary  Travels  and  Researches  in  South  Africa ;  including  a 
Sketch  of  Sixteen  Years'  Residence  in  the  Interior  of  Africa,  and 
a  Journey  from  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope  to  Loando  on  the  West 
Coast ;  thence  across  the  Continent,  down  the  River  Zambesi,  to

The  African  Columbus  has  broken  the  egg,  and  let  the  world  into  his  secret. 
What  he  has  achieved,  and  endured,  and  conquered;  the  witchcraft  which,  for 
sixteen  years,  he  has  used  against  a  vertical  sun  and  a  malign  climate — how  he 
has  run  the  gauntlet  of  carnivores,  and  pachyderms,  and  ophidia — how  he  has 
lived  on  roots,  and  locusts,  and  frogs,  and  moistened  his  mouth  only  with  rain 
or  river  water — how  he  has  striven  with  thirst  and  fever,  with  the  loss  of  letters, 
and  the  absence  of  intelligent  companionship — how  he  has  sounded  unknown 
lakes,  broken  through  thorny  jungles,  navigated  unknown  rivers,  opened  to  light 
a  world  teeming  with  floral,  animal,  and  mineral  wonders — obtaining  ingress  for 
science,  for  commerce,  for  religion — and  leading  after  him,  as  the  special  spoils 
of  his  expedition,  a  throng  of  colored  indigeni,  drawn  along  by  no  other  fetters 
save  of  love  and  admiration.  So  runs  the  story  of  his  book — a  book  not  so  much 
of  travel  and  adventure  as,  in  its  purport  and  spacious  relation,  a  veritable  poem.

NOTICE. 

Messrs.  HAEPEB  &  BROTHERS  take  this  opportunity  of  cautioning  the  Public 
against  several  spurious  publications,  which,  by  artful  advertisements,  are  made 
to  appear  as  though  emanating  from  Dr.  Livingstone.  They  are  authorized  to 
say  that  Dr.  Livingstone  repudiates  them  entirely,  and  wishes  it  to  be  generally 
known  that  the  present  work  is  the  only  authentic  narrative  of  his  Adventures 
and  Travels  in  Africa. 

Dr.  Earth's  North  and  Central  Africa, 

Travels  and  Discoveries  in  North  and  Central  Africa.  Being  a 
Journal  of  an  Expedition  undertaken  under  the  Auspices  of 
H.B.M's  Government,  in  the  Years  1849-1855.  By  HENRY 
BARTH,  Ph.D.,  D,C.L.  Profusely  and  elegantly  Illustrated.  Com- 
plete in  3  vols.  8vo,  Muslin,  $7  50 ;  Sheep,  $8  25 ;  Half  Calf, 
$10  50. 

Dr.  Earth's  wonderful  travels  approach  the  Equator  from  the  North  as  nearly 
as  Dr.  Livingstone's  from  the  South,  and  thus  show  to  future  travelers  the  field 
which  still  remains  open  for  exploration  and  research. 

The  researches  of  Dr.  Earth  are  of  the  highest  interest.  Few  men  have  exist- 
ed so  qualified,  both  by  intellectual  ability  and  a  vigorous  bodily  constitution, 
for  the  perilous  part  of  an  African  discoverer  as  Dr.  Barth. — London  Times. 

Every  chapter  presents  matter  of  more  original  interest  than  an  ordinary  vol- 
ume of  travels.  This  is  high  praise,  but  it  is  due  to  the  intelligence  and  zeal  of 
Dr.  Barth,  who  pursued  his  adventure  with  unflinching  courage,  and  neglected 
no  opportunities.  His  discoveries,  in  fact,  are  parallel  with  those  of  Dr.  Living- 
stone in  the  South.  We  confess  that  such  a  relation  has  for  us  an  intense  inter- 
est; we  are  sure  that  no  serious  reader  will  be  disappointed  in  the  narrative  of 
Dr.  Earth,  which,  sprinkled  with  anecdotes,  varied  with  glittering  descriptions 
of  landscapes  and  manners,  written  with  vigor  and  simplicity,  and  disclosing 
amid  the  gloom  of  Africa  the  secrets  of  centuries,  is  a  rich  repertory  of  knowl- 
edge, and  deserves  to  take  its  place  among  the  classics  of  travel. — Lond.  Deader.

Andersson's  Lake  Ngami, 

Lake  Ngami  ;  or,  Explorations  and  Discoveries  during  Four 
Years'  Wanderings  in  the  Wilds  of  Southwestern  Africa.  By 
CHARLES  JOHN  ANDERS  SON.  With  Numerous  Illustrations,  rep- 
resenting Sporting  Adventures,  Subjects  of  Natural  History,  De- 
vices for  Destroying  Wild  Animals,  &c.  New  Edition.  12mo, 
Muslin,  75  cents. 

This  narrative  of  African  Explorations  and  discoveries  is  a  very  important  ge- 
ographical work.  It  contains  the  account  of  two  journeys  made  between  the 
years  1850  and  1854,  in  the  first  of  which  the  countries  of  the  Damaras  and  the 
Ovambo,  previously  scarcely  known  in  Europe,  were  explored ;  and  in  the  second 
the  newly-discovered  Lake  Ngami  was  reached  by  a  route  that  was  deemed  im- 
practicable, but  which  proves  to  be  the  shortest  and  the  best.  The  work  con- 
tains much  scientific  and  accurate  information  as  to  the  geology,  the  scenery, 
products,  and  resources  of  the  region  explored,  with  notices  of  the  religion,  man- 
ners, and  customs  of  the  native  tribes.  The  continual  sporting  adventures,  and 
other  remarkable  occurrences,  intermingled  with  the  narrative  of  travel,  make 
the  book  as  interesting  to  read  as  a  romance,  as,  indeed,  a  good  book  of  travels 
ought  always  to  be.  The  illustrations  by  Wolf  are  admirably  designed,  and 
most  of  them  represent  scenes  as  striking  as  any  witnessed  by  Jules  Gerard  or 
Gordon  Gumming. 

Cumming's  Hunter's  Life  in  Africa, 

Five  Years  of  a  Hunter's  Life  in  the  Interior  of  South  Africa. 
With  Notices  of  the  Native  Tribes,  and  Anecdotes  of  the  Chase 
of  the  Lion,  Elephant,  Hippopotamus,  Giraffe,  Rhinoceros,  &c. 
With  Illustrations.  2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  75, 

The  writer  of  this  work  appears  to  be  a  fierce,  blood-thirsty  Nimrod,  whose 
highest  ideal  is  found  in  the  destruction  of  wild  beasts,  and  who  relates  his  ad- 
ventures  with  the  same  eagerness  of  passion  which  led  him  to  expatriate  him- 
self from  the  charms  of  English  society  in  the  tangled  depths  of  the  African  for- 
est.  Every  page  is  redolent  of  gunpowder,  and  you  almost  hear  the  growl  of  the 
victim  as  he  falls  beneath  the  unerring  shot  of  the  mighty  hunter. 

Wilson's  Africa, 

Western  Africa :  its  History,  Condition,  and  Prospects.  By  Rev.

$1     Z5. 

Mr.  Wilson  is  probably  better  acquainted  than  any  other  man  with  Western 
Africa  and  its  inhabitants.  During  a  residence  of  almost  twenty  years,  he  re- 
peatedly visited  all  portions  of  the  coast,  mastered  the  principal  languages  of  the 
natives,  composed  grammars  and  dictionaries,  and  published  books  in  them.  He 
has  either  written  or  furnished  the  materials  from  which  have  been  elaborated 
some  of  the  most  valuable  contributions  that  have  been  recently  made  to  the  sci- 
ences of  ethnology  and  philology.  He  is  a  careful  and  shrewd  observer,  and  pre- 
j  sents  the  results  of  his  observations  in  an  excellent  style.  His  book  is  a  valuable 
addition  to  our  knowledge  of  a  country  which  is  rapidly  rising  in  importance.

A  book  of  travels  which,  in  value  and  sterling  interest,  must  take  rank  as  a 
landmark  in  geographical  literature.  Mr.  Atkinson  has  traveled  where  it  is  be- 
lieved no  European  has  been  before.  He  has  seen  nature  in  the  wildest,  sublim- 
est,  and  also  the  most  beautiful  aspects  the  old  world  can  present.  These  he 
has  depicted  by  pen  and  pencil ;  he  has  done  both  well.  Many  a  fireside  will  re- 
joice in  the  determination  which  converted  an  artist  into  an  author.  Mr.  At- 
kinson is  a  thorough  Englishman,  brave  and  accomplished,  a  lover  of  adventure 
and  sport  of  every  kind.  He  knows  enough  of  mineralogy,  geology,  and  botany 
to  impart  a  scientific  interest  to  his  descriptions  and  drawings ;  possessing  a  keen 
sense  of  humor,  he  tells  many  a  racy  story.  The  sportsman  and  the  lover  of 
adventure,  whether  by  flood  or  field,  will  find  ample  stores  in  the  stirring  tales 
of  his  interesting  travels.— Daily  News. 

Humboldt's  Cosmos, 

A  Sketch  of  a  Physical  Description  of  the  Universe.    By  ALEX- 
ANDER VON  HUMBOLDT.    Translated  from  the  German,  by  E.  C. 
OTTE.     5  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $4  25  ;  Half  Calf,  $8  50. 
Here  is  a  work  which  unites  the  grandeur  and  extent  of  early  speculations 
with  the  fullness  and  precision  of  modern  science.     Akin  to  the  Timceus  of  Plato 
in  its  artistic  repose,  in  solemn  earnestness  and  calm  magnificence  of  diction,  its 
most  astonishing  speculations  are  based  upon  severe  and  rigorous  investigation. 
We  are  equally  surprised  at  the  fullness  and  minuteness  of  his  knowledge,  and 
the  masterly  clearness  with  which  his  facts  are  arranged.     Indeed,  Cosmos  is  a 
work  of  art  almost  as  much  as  of  philosophy ;  and  we  know  not  where  to  point 
out  its  fellow  as  a  composition.     Written  in  the  evening  of  a  long  life,  it  has  the 
mellowed  light  of  the  setting  sun. — London  Spectator.

This  is  a  most  valuable  contribution  to  biographical  literature.  William 
Humboldt  was  connected  with  the  most  eminent  men  of  his  age  in  politics  and 
literature,  and  his  life  is  a  lucid  commentary  on  the  intellectual  development  of 
Germany.  Alexander  Humboldt,  in  spite  of  his  great  age  (nearly  90  years),  is 
still  actively  engaged  in  the  loftiest  intellectual  pursuits  completing  his  great 
work,  Cosmos.

Lamartine's  Girondists. 

History  of  the  Girondists ;  or,  Personal  Memoirs  of  the  Patriots 
of  the  French  Revolution.     By  A.  DE  LAMARTINE.     From  un- 
published Sources.   3  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  10 ;  Half  Calf,  $4  65. 
The  Girondists  were  the  moderate  party  during  the  latter  part  of  the  French 
Revolution  who  vainly  endeavored  to  check  the  excesses  of  the  Jacobins,  and  fell 
victims  in  the  unsuccessful  effort.     Many  of  them  were  men  of  the  most  brilliant 
talents  and  of  lofty  virtue.     The  story  of  their  struggles  and  of  their  destruction 
forms  one  of  the  most  exciting  episodes  of  modern  history.     Lamartine  has  done 
full  justice  to  his  stirring  theme.     His  style  is  brilliant  and  captivating,  combin- 
ing the  interest  of  a  romance  with  the  instruction  of  history. 

Lamartine's  Celebrated  Characters,

TINE, Author  of  the  "History  of  the  Girondists."  3  vols.  12mo, 
Muslin,  $2  63 ;  Half  Calf,  $5  18. 

The  essence  of  many  volumes  is  here  condensed  and  reproduced  in  the  fascin- 
ating style  of  which  Lamartine  is  such  a  great  master.  The  subjects  of  the  vol- 
umes are  Nelson — Heloise — Columbus — Palissy  the  Potter — Roostam — Cicero — 
Jacquard  —  Joan  of  Arc  —  Cromwell  — Homer — Gutenberg — Fenelon  —  Socrates 
— William  Tell  —  Madame  de  Sevigne  —  Milton  —  Antar— Bossuet.  An  air  of 
beauty  is  thrown  around  them  all.  Whatever  is  romantic  in  their  histories  is 
set  forth  with  consummate  artistic  skill,  and  a  fresh  and  beautiful  light  is  made 
to  play  on  old  facts.  The  Life  of  Nelson  is  perhaps  the  hardest  one  for  a  French- 
man, and  above  all,  for  Lamartine,  to  write  justly — and  yet  it  is  most  admirably 
done.  He  portrays  the  mingled  strength  and  weakness  of  his  character  with  a 
master  hand,  and  condenses  and  narrates  the  leading  events  of  his  life  in  a  story 
of  thrilling  interest.

An  extraordinary  book  ;  pronounced  by  eminent  critics  the'chef  d'ceuvre  of  the

With  scanty  funds,  few  letters  of  introduction,  and  no  more  luggage  than  a

hardiest  of  the  stronger  sex.     Some  of  the  places  to  which  she  penetrated  had 
never  before  been  visited  by  Europeans,  and  the  account  of  parts  of  the  interior 
of  Borneo,  Java,  and  Sumatra,  is  a  novel  contribution  to  the  records  of  travel. 
In  the  New  World  she  passed  over  more  familiar  ground,  but  not  on  that  ac- 
count the  less  interesting  will  be  found  the  reports  of  a  traveler  so  observant,  in- 
telligent, and  trustworthy. — Literary  Gazette.

Twenty  Years  in  the  Philippines, 

By  PAUL  DE  LA  GIRONIERE.  Revised  and  Extended  by  the  Au- 
thor expressly  for  this  Translation.  Engravings.  12mo,  Muslin, 
$100. 

A  spicy  narrative  of  a  life  of  strange  and  romantic  adventures  in  the  farthest 
East.  The  author  is  a  Frenchman  of  education  and  ability,  who,  thrown  upon 
the  shores  of  the  Philippine  Islands  at  an  early  age,  takes  up  his  residence  among 
the  natives,  becomes  a  sort  of  Oriental  potentate  among  the  barbarians,  devotes 
himself  to  the  welfare  of  his  unique  colonies,  and  at  the  close  of  twenty  years  sets 
about  recording  his  marvelous  career  for  the  benefit  of  his  contemporaries.  In  a 
style  of  uncommon  freshness  and  naivete^  he  relates  the  thousand-and-one  odd  in- 
cidents of  his  life — many  of  which  are  droll  enough  in  all  conscience — though 
their  truth  is  attested  by  the  incidental  statements  of  European  and  American  na- 
val officers,  who  were  familiar  with  the  proceedings  of  the  self-inaugurated  mon- 
arch. His  narrative  is,  moreover,  replete  with  an  endless  variety  of  curious  and 
valuable  information,  and  throws  much  light  on  a  state  of  society  which,  in  this 
western  world,  we  usually  have  but  the  faintest  conception.

of  Virginia.    By  JOHN  ESTEN  COOKE.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 
Without  a  trace  of  the  audacity  and  extravagance  which  are  so  much  in  vogue 
with  many  recent  American  writers  of  fiction,  this  unique  story  of  Virginia  life 
quietly  winds  its  way  to  the  heart  of  the  reader,  by  its  simple  touches  of  nature, 
its  gentle  pathos,  and  the  admirable  harmony  and  fidelity  of  its  coloring.     The 
author  has  a  rare  perception  of  the  capacities  of  character  for  dramatic  effect.—

VEY.    Square  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  50. 

This  work  presents  the  subject  of  Natural  History  in  a  manner  suited  to  in- 
terest and  instruct  the  general  mass  of  readers.  It  combines  accuracy  of  infor- 
mation and  systematic  arrangement  with  brevity  and  simplicity  of  treatment. 
The  descriptive  portions  in  the  various  branches  of  Natural  History  are  marked 
by  vividness  and  simplicity :  numerous  original  anecdotes  are  introduced,  illus- 
trative of  animal  habits  and  peculiarities,  in  connection  with  scientific  details, 
and  a  great  variety  of  spirited  engravings  give  a  life-like  aspect  to  the  whole

GEORGE  WINFRED  HERVEY.     A  New  Edition,  with  Additions 

and  Corrections.     12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

The  design  of  this  work  is  to  illustrate  and  enforce  the  duty  of  courtesy  in  all 
its  principles  and  applications.  From  the  opinions  of  the  leading  critics  of  the 
day,  already  laid  before  the  public,  it  may  be  inferred  that  the  book  is  unique, 
original,  and,  apart  from  the  very  important  practical  theme  of  which  it  treats, 
a  curiosity  in  the  literature  of  the  age.  The  subjects,  they  tell  us,  are  discussed 
in  a  spirit  of  cheerful,  charitable,  and  liberal  ethics. 

The  Rhetoric  of  Conversation ; 

Or,  Bridles  and  Spurs  for  the  Management  of  the  Tongue.  By 
GEORGE  WIXFRED  HERVEY.  12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 
This  volume  is  intended  to  be  of  the  same  use  to  all  who  talk,  as  the  ordinary 
works  on  rhetoric  are  to  public  speakers  and  writers  ;  containing  all  the  instruc- 
tion as  to  the  proprieties  and  ethics  of  talking  that  the  aspirant  after  colloquial 
excellence  can  reasonably  require.  To  the  great  number  of  critical  judgments  in 
regard  to  this  work  which  have  appeared  in  the  United  States,  we  may  be  al- 
lowed to  add  one  from  the  London  Literary  Gazette,  a  periodical  which,  accord- 
ing to  Christopher  North,  "  stands,  beyond  dispute,  at  the  head  of  its  own  class." 
"  In  this  volume,  by  an  American  writer,  will  be  found  much  sensible  and  enter- 
taining counsel  and  illustrations,  historical  and  biographical.  On  the  art  and 
ethics  of  talking,  it  is  a  comprehensive  manual,  and  no  book  in  the  English  lan- 
guage has  entered  so  systematically  into  the  subject,  and  presented  so  many 
striking  and  appropriate  hints  for  practical  use."

mentary Appendix  of  the  American  editor,  which  the  venerable  author  incorpo- 
rated in  his  latest  London  edition,  is  not  only  the  standard  authority  in  surgery 
in  every  college  at  home  and  abroad,  but,  as  a  book  of  reference  in  this  science, 
can  never  be  supplanted  by  any  of  the  kindred  works  on  the  same  subject,  all  of 
which  give  evidence  that  their  learned  authors  have  been  obliged  to  draw  largely 
from  this  great  Cyclopaedia  of  Surgery  for  their  authorities,  their  doctrines,  and 
their  facts.  The  name  of  Samuel  Cooper  and  his  work  must  be  coeval  with  sur-

It  also  embodies  a  vast  amount  of  new  and  important  illustration.  It  has  been 
used  very  generally  as  a  text-book  in  our  medical  colleges.

Here  is  a  work  which  may  be  carried  in  the  pocket,  taken  into  the  anatomical 
theatre  and  the  dissecting  room.    It  will  also  be  highly  useful  to  the  surgeon  who 
has  no  means  of  referring  to  the  subject  previous  to  an  operation  ;  and  the  physi- 
cian, also,  when  meeting  with  symptoms  which  can  not  be  explained,  by  exam- 
ining the  position  of  the  organs,  and  studying  their  relations  and  nervous  supply, 
as  beautifully  delineated  in  these  plates,  may  find  many  of  his  difficulties  re- 
moved, and  thus  be  able  to  practice  his  art  with  more  satisfaction  to  himself  as 
well  as  benefit  to  his  patients.—  New  York  Journal  of  Medicine.

the  English  language  ;  the  additional  notes  of  Professor  Draper  have  been  deemed 
exceedingly  valuable.  The  leading  idea  of  the  author  has  been  to  present  the 
student  an  account  of  the  general  principles  and  facts  of  chemistry,  and  of  its 
application  to  pharmacy,  medicine,  and  the  useful  arts.  For  its  laborious  re- 
search, accurate  analysis,  and  profound  learning,  this  work  stands  unrivaled 
among  the  productions  of  its  class. 

Butler's  Analogy,    By  Emory  and  Crooks. 

Bishop  BUTLER'S  Analogy  of  Keligion,  Natural  and  Revealed,  to 
the  Constitution  and  Course  of  Nature,  with  an  Analysis,  left 
unfinished,  by  the  late  ROBERT  EMORY,  D.D.,  President  of  Dick- 
inson College.  Completed  and  Edited,  with  a  Life  of  Bishop 
BUTLER,  Notes  and  Index,  by  Rev.  G.  R.  CROOKS,  D.D.  12mo, 
Muslin,  75  cents. 

This  edition  contains  the  original  treatise,  with  a  life  of  the  author,  by  G.  R. 
Crooks,  and  a  complete  and  accurate  analysis  of  the  work,  by  the  late  President 
Emory,  of  Dickinson  College.  The  analysis,  which  is  an  important  feature  of 
the  present  edition,  is  drawn  up  with  eminent  skill,  and  must  prove  an  invaluable 
aid  to  the  student  in  pursuing  the  deductions  of  Bishop  Butler.  The  utility  of 
the  volume  is  increased  by  the  brief  explanatory  notes  of  the  editor  and  by  a 
comprehensive  index. 

Butler's  Analogy,    By  Hobart, 

Analysis  of  Butler's  Analogy  of  Religion,  Natural  and  Revealed,

CRAUFORD'S  Questions  for  Examination,  revised  and  adapted  to

cents. 

No  one  can  peruse  the  masterly  writings  of  Butler  without  great  intellectual 
profit.  Of  all  English  authors,  his  researches  in  the  science  of  ethics  have  pro- 
duced the  most  precious  and  the  most  permanent  fruit.  As  a  wholesme  disci- 
pline, in  these  days  of  rash  and  superficial  thought,  its  value  can  scarcely  be 
overrated.

The  Homes  of  the  New  World, 

Impressions  of  America.     By  FREDRIKA  BREMER.     Translated 
by  MARY  HOWITT.     2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  00. 
Miss  Bremer  kept  traveling  while  she  was  with  us;  went  west  to  Minnesota; 
visited  the  upper  waters  of  the  Mississippi ;  bivouacked  on  the  prairies ;  halted 
at  nearly  every  town,  large  or  small,  on  the  banks  of  that  river  down  to  New  Or- 
leans ;  crossed  over  to  Cuba ;  saw  Mobile,  Savannah,  St.  Augustine,  in  fact,  al- 
most every  place  in  the  country.     And  of  almost  every  step  of  her  way  she  has 
given  some  account,  while  her  work  offers  a  kind  of  portrait  gallery  of  all  the 
people  from  whom  she  received  services.     She  gives  us  clever  pictures  of  almost 
every  man  or  woman  of  note  in  the  country. 

Bremer's  Novels, 

Miss  Bremer  possesses,  beyond  any  other  living  writer  of  her  class,  the  power 
of  realizing  to  the  imagination  every  individual  she  introduces.  The  moral 
beauty  and  womanly  purity  which  steadily  illuminate  her  narrative,  must  re- 
ceive implicit  admiration  on  all  hands.

Urquhart's  Pillars  of  Hercules, 

The  Pillars  of  Hercules  ;  or,  A  Narrative  of  Travels  in  Spain  and 

Morocco  in  1848.     By  DAVID  URQUHART,  M.P.     2  vols.  12mo, 

Muslin,  $1  70. 

Mr.  Urquhart,  whose  writings  upon  the  Russo-Turkish  complications  have 
brought  him  prominently  before  the  public  at  various  times,  is  not  only  a  relia- 
ble and  genial  traveler,  but  also  a  Political  Economist,  a  man  of  science,  and  an 
elegant  writer.  These  volumes  are  a  record  of  a  leisurely  tour  through  the 
southern  provinces  of  Spain  and  the  little-known  Barbary.  The  author  describes 
graphically  the  manners  and  customs  of  the  people,  and  the  peculiarities  of  the 
countries  he  saw,  and  his  volumes  abound  in  curious  historic  and  ethnographic 
lore.

Travels  in  Egypt,  Arabia  Petraea,  and  the  Holy  Land.     Engrav- 
ings.    2  vols.  8vo,  Muslin,  $2  50;  Half  Calf,  $4  20. 
Dr.  Olin's  excellent  volumes  convey  a  great  amount  of  information.     "They 

are,"  says  Bishop  Potter,  "rich  in  information,  pervaded  by  a  lofty  spirit,  and 

entitled  to  entire  confidence." 

Dr.  Olin's  Works,

leyan  University.     2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $3  70. 
Dr.  Olin's  style  is  forcible  and  his  manner  earnest,  while  his  language  is  sug- 
gestive and  full  of  thought.     Strength  and  clearness  of  reasoning,  aptness  of  il- 
lustration, and  a  straightforward  purpose  are  always  to  be  detected  in  his  ser- 
mons.   The  lectures  and  addresses  in  the  second  volume  are  mostly  devoted  to 
topics  connected  with  Christian  education.     The  authors  large  and  comprehen- 
sive views  of  this  important  subject  were  both  developed  and  modified  by  the  ex- 
perience of  a  quarter  of  a  century,  during  which  he  was  brought  in  contact  with 
students  of  great  diversity  of  mental  and  moral  structure. 

Dr,  Olin's  Life  and  Letters, 

2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $3  70. 

The  biography  of  such  a  man  can  not  be  other  than  a  public  benefaction.  Its 
effect  must  be  as  salutary  as  the  character  of  its  subject  was  unworldly  and  pure. 
In  the  present  case,  the  interest  of  the  work  is  greatly  enhanced  by  the  space  that 
is  allotted  to  the  correspondence  of  President  Olin.,  whose  letters  form  almost  a 
connective  autobiography. 

Home  Influence,

12mo,  Muslin,  37i  cents. 

A  beautiful  story,  presenting  a  lovely,  quiet  picture  of  home  feelings  and  man- 
ners toned  down  to  a  deep,  tender  sweetness,  peculiarly  fitted  to  the  fireside  of 
the  domestic  circle.  The  book  is  full  of  natural  purity,  scenes  of  every-day  life, 
and  feelings  of  real  every-day  people.

Connection  of  the  Physical  Sciences.     By  MARY  SOMERVILLE. 
From  the  recently  revised  Edition.     12mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

This  volume  treats  of  the  whole  circle  of  the  physical  sciences,  including  the 
most  sublime  problems  in  astronomy,  the  phenomena  of  light,  heat,  electricity, 
and  magnetism.     It  shows  that  certain  great  principles  govern  the  whole  natu- 
ral world,  and  produce  the  most  diverse  appearances.

Stansbury's  Interest  Tables  at  Seven  per  Cent 

Calculated  by  Months  and  Days,  and  by  current  Days  at  the 
rates  of  360  and  365  to  the  Year.     Decimally  arranged  under  the 
head  of  Time.     Each  Period  of  less  than  a  Year  having  a  sepa- 
rate Table  by  Months  and  Days,  and  Days  as  360ths,  contained 
on  the  third  of  a  Page ;  a  Table  for  a  Year  being  repeated  on 
each  two  Pages  under  Observation  at  the  same  time.     Each  Day 
up  to  146  having  also  a  separate  Table,  at  365  to  the  Year;  with 
a  Table  of  146  Days,  repeated  like  the  Year  Table.     Together 
with  Factors  for  calculating  Rebate  or  Discount ;  and  also  con- 
venient Time  Tables.     Eoyal  8vo,  Half  Bound,  $1  50. 
Simplicity  of  arrangement,  accuracy  of  calculation,  and  compactness  of  form, 
commend  this  work  to  all  who  have  occasion  to  refer  to  such  tables.     It  is  true 
of  most  interest  tables  that  a  ready  accountant  will  ascertain  the  interest  on  any 
sum  by  the  old-fashioned  method  of  computation  in  as  little  time  as  the  several 
pages  of  the  table-book  can  be  referred  to,  and  the  several  amounts  added  to- 
gether, and  the  result  thus  obtained.     Stansbury's  tables,  however,  present  on 
one  page  the  interest  on  any  sum  which  it  may  be  necessary  to  find.

profit  combined  with  pleasure,  and  none  can  peruse  these  tales  without  acknowl- 
edging the  force  of  the  teachings  they  inculcate.

cents  ;  Muslin,  gilt  edges,  $1  00. 

There  is  more  truth  and  more  philosophy  inculcated  by  these  simple  tales  than 
can  be  found  in  nine  tenths  of  all  the  crack-brained  elaborations  that  have 
flooded  the  world  for  a  hundred  years.  Instruction  and  moral  amusement  was 
their  purpose.  The  design  is  distinctly  stamped  upon  them,  and  clearly  indi- 
cated by  the  well-written  preface.  The  present  volume  is  a  gem  in  its  way,  beau- 
tifully printed  and  elegantly  embellished  with  eighty-one  engravings.—  Albion.

cents. 

A  plain,  practical,  common-sense  treatise  on  hygiene,  which  will  assist  the  un- 
professional to  form  a  sober  estimate  of  physic,  and  enable  him  to  second  the 
physician's  efforts  to  promote  health.  Dr.  Moore's  habits  of  thought  and  ex-

One  of  the  profoundest  works  on  mind  and  matter  which  we  have  seen  for

45  cents. 

Although  necessarily  treading  the  path  of  metaphysical  research  and  inquiry, 
the  author  has  invested  his  subject  with  so  much  beauty  of  illustration  and  fas- 
cination of  style  as  to  arrest  the  attention  of  every  reader.  It  abounds  with  sug- 
gestions of  the  highest  importance  to  the  happiness  of  our  physical  and  moral 
being.

By  GEORGE  MOORE,  M.D.     12mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

This  volume  was  designed,  in  connection  with  two  others,  "The  Power  of  the 
Soul  over  the  Body,"  and  "  The  Use  of  the  Body  in  relation  to  the  Mind,"  and 
is  an  appropriate  companion  to  them.  The  subjects  treated  are  :  Man,  Primitive 
and  Derivative ;  Selfhood,  Soul,  Mind,  Spirit ;  Immortality ;  Man  in  relation  to 
his  Maker ;  Mental  Manifestation ;  Self-Management ;  Association  ;  Liking  and

nent. Taken  in  connection,  they  form  a  narrative  of  the  interesting  vicissitude 
which  abounded  during  the  whole  career  of  these  distinguished  navigators,  and 
furnish  abundant  grounds  for  forming  an  opinion  upon  their  respective  merits.

This  cheap  and  handsome  edition  of  the  works  of  Mrs.  Sherwood  is  certainly 
one  of  the  most  admirable  family  series,  from  the  pen  of  a  single  writer,  in  the 
English  language.  The  subjects  are  exceedingly  various,  and  adapted  to  dif- 
ferent degrees  of  capacity,  from  that  of  opening  youth  to  the  matured  intellect 
of  riper  years;  but  in  all,  the  sentiments,  the  spirit,  and  the  influence  upon  the 
mind,  are  such  as  to  command  the  warmest  approbation  of  every  enlightened 
Christian;  while,  in  their  aptitude  for  the  cultivation  of  the  understanding  and 
the  improvement  of  the  heart,  they  challenge  competition.  These  features  ren- 
der the  works  of  Mrs.  Sherwood  peculiarly  suitable  for  the  libraries  of  Sunday- 
schools.

with  the  writings  of  Hannah  More.  She  did  perhaps  as  much  real  good  in  her

here  on  works  so  well  known.  They  have  established  her  name  as  a  great  moral 
writer,  possessing  a  masterly  command  over  the  resources  of  our  language,  and 
devoting  a  keen  wit  and  a  lively  fancy  to  the  best  and  noblest  of  purposes. —

It  is  unnecessary  at  this  late  day  to  eulogize  the  works  of  Miss  Edgeworth — 
they  have  taken  an  enduring  position  in  English  literature.  Sir  Walter  Scott, 
with  his  characteristic  frankness,  has  acknowledged  that  his  original  idea  when 
he  commenced  his  career  as  a  novelist,  was  to  be  to  Scotland  what  Miss  Edge- 
worth  was  to  Ireland — to  portray  the  peculiarity  of  manners  belonging  rather  to 
the  generation  passing  away  than  to  that  which  now  exists,  and  to  give  life  to  the 
natural  scenery,  and  permanence  to  the  national  characteristics  of  his  country- 
men. In  depicting  the  strange  varieties  of  Irish  character,  whether  grave  or  gay, 
Miss  Edgeworth  is  confessedly  without  an  equal.  Her  comic  and  playful  satire 
ranks  her  high  in  the  dominions  of  humor,  while  it  is  combined  with  a  sterling 
common  sense,  and  a  power  of  picturesque  description  which  seldom  fall  to  the 
lot  of  the  wit  or  the  satirist.  Her  story -telling  powers  are  admirable. 

The  whole  of  the  works,  as  published  in  this  edition,  have  undergone  a  care- 
ful revision  and  correction  by  the  author  herself.

important  truths  through*  the  medium  of  sprightly  and  entertaining  stories.  The 
beauty  and  importance  of  self-control,  self-denial,  decision,  and  perseverance, 
are  clearly  illustrated  by  a  variety  of  interesting  incidents.

the  most  careless  reader.

G,  P,  R,  James's  Novels, 


Mr.  JAMES  is  the  only  conspicuous  representative  of  the  school  of  fiction  so  sig- 
nally illustrated  by  Sir  Walter  Scott.  His  prolific  genius  has  given  birth  to  a 
whole  library  of  novels,  on  which  the  verdict  of  public  opinion  has  set  its  seal  of 
approval.  In  splendor  of  diction,  ease  and  copiousness  of  description,  and  felic- 
ity of  character-drawing,  James  has  few  rivals,  and,  with  these  merits,  his  popu- 
larity with  the  million  will  sustain  the  test  of  time.  The  historical  character  of 
many  of  his  novels  makes  them  agreeable  sources  of  information.  They  refresh 
the  memory  of  past  scenes,  and  give  a  glowing  illustration  to  the  incidents  of  a 
by-gone  age.

James's  Chivalry  and  Crusades, 

History  of  Chivalry  and  the  Crusades.  By  G.  P.  R.  JAMES.  En- 
gravings. 18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

A  volume  full  of  interest  and  instruction.  It  unfolds  the  rise  and  progress  of 
the  institution  of  Chivalry,  and  narrates  the  history  of  the  adventurous  attempt 
to  wrest  the  Holy  Land  from  the  power  of  the  Saracens.  The  history  of  the 
Crusades  exceeds  in  stirring  adventures  the  scenes  of  ths  wildest  romance. 

James's  Life  of  Charlemagne. 

Life  of  Charlemagne.     With  an  Introductory  View  of  the  History 
of  France.    By  G.  P.  R.  JAMES.     18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 
Charlemagne  was  one  of  the  world's  great  men,  and  from  his  time  most  of  the 

nations  of  Europe  date  their  origin.     In  narrating  the  life  of  this  hero,  Mr. 

James  was  fully  inspired  with  the  greatness  of  his  subject.     He  has  shed  light 

upon  the  darkness  which  has  long  overhung  this  most  interesting  and  important 

period  of  history. 

Dark  Scenes  of  History, 

By  G.  P.  R.  JAMES.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

These  are  the  compositions  in  which  the  author  excels,  combining  historical 
information  with  critical  acumen.  Eight  u  Dark  Scenes  of  History"  have  been 
selected  for  his  themes.  They  are  all  of  a  sanguinary  and  stirring  kind— sad  and 
memorable  pictures  of  by-gone  times  in  various  countries.  They  are  treated  in 
a  dramatic  manner,  and  with  great  dramatic  effect.  The  tragical  descriptions 
are  full  of  force. 

James's  Henry  IV, 

Life  of  Henry  IV.     King  of  France  and  Navarre.     By  G.  P.  R. 

JAMES.     2  vols.  12mo,  Muslin,  $2  50. 

His  peculiar  power  consists  in  being  able  to  describe  with  wonderful  spirit  busy 
and  stirring  scenes,  to  bring  out  into  bold  relief  pictures  of  daring  and  courage, 
to  delineate  with  a  few  bold  strokes  a  landscape,  and  occasionally  to  portray  the 
deeper  and  finer-feelings  of  human  nature,  which  few  succeed  in  handling  well. 
There  are  scenes  of  infinite  beauty  and  touching  pathos  in  his  works. 

Old  Whitey's  Christmas  Trot. 

A  Christmas  Tale.  By  A.  OAKEY  HALL.  Beautifully  Illus- 
trated from  Original  Drawings  by  THWAITES.  Square  4to,  Mus- 
lin gilt,  50  cents  ;  gilt  edges,  60  cents. 

The  scene  of  this  story  is  laid  partly  In  New  York,  in  an  old  Knickerbocker 
mansion  near  St.  John's  Park,  and  in  sundry  lawyer's  offices,  and  partly  in  a  de- 
lightful old  parsonage  in  the  country.  The  plot  is  highly  effective.  Great  in- 
terest is  given  to  the  development  of  the  story.  For  the  most  part  it  is  in  a  ten- 
der, touching  vein,  though  free  from  any  cases  of  mawkish  sentimentality.  The 
style  is  quite  simple,  with  a  certain  dash  of  quaintness,  often  reminding  the 
reader  of  Washington  Irving,  and  sometimes  of  Ike  Marvel. 

Ancient  Mineralogy; 

Or,  an  Inquiry  respecting  Mineral  Substances  mentioned  by  the 
Ancients :  with  Occasional  Remarks  on  the  Uses  to  which  they 
were  applied.  By  N.  F.  MOORE,  LL.D.,  late  President  of  Co- 
lumbia College.  A  New  and  Revised  Edition.

Wealth  and  Worth ; 

Or,  Which  makes  the  Man?     18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

A  narrative  full  of  stirring  incidents  and  lively  description,  the  moral  of  which 
is  that  no  amount  of  wealth,  unaccompanied  by  worth,  is  sufficient  to  entitle  a 
person  to  respect  or  esteem ;  while  genuine  worth  may  often  be  found  accompa- 
nied by  poverty. 

What's  to  be  Done  ? 

Or,  The  Will  and  the  Way.  By  the  Author  of  "Wealth  and 
Worth."  18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

This  story  inculcates  the  great  lesson  of  life,  that  where  there  is  a  will  there  is 
a  way,  and  tha,t  the  only  sure  way  to  success  is  to  act  honorably  and  honestly.

and  Abroad,  &c.  By  EPES  SARGENT.  2  vols.  18mo,  Muslin,  90 
cents. 

The  narratives  here  presented  are  well  fitted  to  impress  upon  the  mind  the 
importance  of  heroic  virtue,  self-possession,  and  fortitude  in  times  of  extreme 
peril.  They  aptly  illustrate  the  apothegm  that  Providence  helps  those  who  help 
themselves. 

Perilous  Adventures; 

Or,  Remarkable  Instances  of  Courage,  Perseverance,  and  Suffer- 
ing.    By  R.  A.  DAVENPORT.     18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 
In  collecting  so  many  tales  of  woe  and  enterprise,  the  author  seeks  to  incul- 
cate the  salutary  lesson,  "  that  there  are  few  things  that  may  not  be  accomplished 
by  perseverance  and  courage,  accompanied  by  self-command  and  presence  of 
mind."

Bulwer's  Novels, 


To  Bulwer,  the  author  of  Pelham,  The  Caxtons,  and  My  Novel,  we  assign  the 
highest  place  among  modern  writers  of  fiction.  There  is  always  power  in  the 
creations  of  his  fancy  ;  he  is  always,  polished,  witty,  learned.  Since  the  days  of 
Scott  were  ended,  there  is,  in  our  apprehension,  no  pinnacle  so  high  as  that  on 
which  we  hang  our  wreath  to  Bulwer;  like  the  Roman  emperor,  a  prince  among 
his  equals,  the  first  among  his  craft.—  BlackwoocCs  Magazine.

The  object  of  this  work  is,  in  describing  the  present  to  connect  it  with  the  past, 
which,  in  speaking  of  what  is  daily  and  accidental,  would  separate  it  from  what 
ages  have  sanctioned,  and  distant  ages  are  likely  to  see  ;  a  work  which,  in  show- 
ing the  effect  which  time,  and  laws,  and  accident  produce  upon  the  character  of 
the  people,  would  also  show  the  manner  in  which  the  character  of  a  people  trav- 
erses time,  enters  into  laws,  and  dominates  over  accident.

Of  Mackenzie's  works  Professor  Wilson,  the  famous  "Christopher  North"  of 
Blackwoood's  Magazine,  thus  speaks:  "The  beautiful  visions  of  his  pathetic 
imagination  had  stamped  a  soft  and  delicious,  but  deep  and  indelible  impression 
on  my  mind  long  before  I  had  heard  the  name  of  criticism.     The  very  names  of 
the  heroes  and  heroines  of  his  delightful  stories  sounded  in  my  ears  like  the 
echoes  of  some  old  romantic  melody,  too  simple  and  too  beautiful  to  have  been 
framed  in  these  degenerate,  over-scientific  days.*

Really  charming  books.  The  writer  is  the  most  successful  in  describing  rural 
scenery  among  the  writers  of  the  day.  His  scenes  have  all  the  freshness  and 
beauty  which  characterizes  the  sketches  of  Miss  Mitford  and  Washington  Irving. 
The  engravings  are  all  exquisite. — Professor  FKOST. 

De  Tocqueville's  French  Revolution, 

The  Old  Kegime  and  the  Revolution.  By  ALEXIS  DE  TOCQUE- 
VILLE,  of  the  Academic  Fra^aise,  Author  of  "Democracy  in 
America."  Translated  by  JOHN  BONNER.  12mo,  Muslin.  $  1  00  ; 
Half  Calf,  $1  85. 

A  calm,  philosophical  inquiry  into  the  causes  of  the  French  Revolution,  and 
the  working  of  the  Old  Regime.  In  this  work  M.  de  Tocqueville  has  daguerre- 
otyped  French  political  society  under  the  old  monarchy;  shown  us  where  the 
real  power  lay,  and  how  it  affected  individual  Frenchmen  in  the  daily  avocations 
of  life  ;  what  was  the  real  condition  of  the  nobility,  of  the  clergy,  of  the  middle 
classes,  of  the  "  people,11  of  the  peasantry ;  wherein  France  differed  from  all  oth- 
er countries  in  Europe;  why  a  Revolution  was  inevitable.  The  information 
supplied  under  these  various  heads,  it  may  safely  be  said,  is  now  first  printed. 
It  has  been  obtained,  as  M.  de  Tocqueville  informs  us,  mainly  from  the  manu- 
script records  of  the  old  intendant's  offices  and  the  Council  of  State.  Of  the  la- 
bor devoted  to  the  task,  an  idea  may  be  formed  from  the  author's  statement  that 
more  than  one  of  the  thirty  odd  chapters  contained  in  the  volume  alone  cost  him 
a  year's  researches. 

El  Gringo; 

Or,  New  Mexico  and  her  People.     By  W.  W.  H.  DAVIS,  late 

United  States  Attorney.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25. 

A  lively  and  attractive  book,  commencing  with  a  graphic  account  ef  the  jour- 
ney across  the  prairies,  from  Fort  Independence  to  Santa  Fe.  The  author  then 
gives  a  brief  sketch  of  the  history  of  New  Mexico,  and  describes  its  customs, 
manners,  religion,  administration  of  law,  and  condition  of  society.  The  ground 
covered  is  new,  there  being  no  full  recent  account  of  the  territory  of  New  Mexico. 
The  work,  therefore,  will  form  a  useful  addition  to  the  authorities  on  that  sub- 
ject, besides  being  very  agreeable  reading.

Dore, 

By  A  STROLLER  IN  EUROPE.     12 mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

A  book  of  travels,  as  the  author  says  in  his  Preface,  as  little  in  the  style  of  the 
guide-books  as  possible.  Full  of  keen  love  of  the  ludicrous— bright,  sparkling, 
and  genial — showing  on  every  page  that  the  author  was  at  home  in  every  situa- 
tion, from  the  ridiculous  flannel  gown  and  omnium  gatherum  of  the  baths  at 
Loeche  to  the  grisette's  floor,  au  sixiemc,  in  Paris.  It  is  hardly  to  be  called  a 
book  of  travels.  It  is  a  collection  of  notes  of  adventure  and  thoughts  suggested 
by  incidents  of  foot,  vettura,  and  diligence  journeying  on  the  Continent. 

European  Acquaintance : 

Being  Sketches  of  People  in  Europe.    By  J.  W.  DE  FOREST. 

12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

One  of  the  most  readable,  pleasant  volumes  upon  Europe,  or  rather  upon  per- 
sons there  encountered  by  the  author,  published  for  some  time.  The  charm  of 
Mr.  De  Forest's  book  is  his  utter  want  of  pedantry.  He  passes  over  what  is 
called  classic  ground,  and  avoids  referring  to  what  other  writers  have  said.  He 
conveys  his  own  impressions  in  a  very  agreeable  manner.— Boston  Transcript. 

Madeira,  Portugal,  and  the  Andalusias. 

Sketches  and  Adventures  in  Madeira,  Portugal,  and  the  Andalu- 
sias of  Spain.     By  the  Author  of  "Daniel  Webster  and  his  Con- 
temporaries/'   With  Illustrations.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25. 
In  this  record  of  frolicsome  adventure,  the  author  lives  over  again  the  scenes 
in  which  he  fully  verifies  the  old  proverb  of  "When  in  Rome  do  as  the  Romans 
do."     He  becomes  one  of  the  people  among  whom  he  temporarily  loiters,  adapts 
himself  to  the  humor  of  the  moment  like  a  native,  and  thus  bears  away  a  sin- 
gularly racy  experience  of  every  soil  over  which  he  wanders.     Few  books  of 
modern  travel  combine  so  much  novel  information  with  such  an  insinuating 
nonchalance  of  manner,  or  present  the  countries  which  they  describe  i'n  such  a 
fascinating  light.

This  attractive  volume  is  ever  likely  to  obtain  an  uncommon  share  of  public 

notice,  not  only  from  the  ability  with  which  it  is  written,  but  from  the  universal 

interest  in  the  subjects  of  it.— American  Review.

edge of  civil  engineering  and  mining,  and  is  especially  adapted  for  self-instruc- 
tion in  these  important  branches.  It  consists  of  a  series  of  practical  illustrations 
in  mechanics,  arranged  in  the  order  in  which  the  elements  of  the  science  succeed 
each  other,  connected  by  such  explanations  as  will  enable  the  student  to  embrace 
and  combine  the  whole.

should  be  authentic  in  every  particular,  worthy  to  be  trusted  and  appealed  to 
upon  every  question  of  importance  to  the  wool-grower.  That  he  has  succeeded 
in  this  endeavor  is  abundantly  shown  by  the  testimonials  of  the  New  York  State 
Agricultural  Society,  who  recommend  the  work  in  the  highest  terms.  Its  value

This  work  is  a  resume  of  the  most  important  facts  and  incidents  connected  with 
the  voyages  that  have  from  time  to  time  been  made,  in  the  furtherance  of  an  at-

This  is  unanimously  admitted  to  be  the  best  account  of  the  strange  life  and 
character  of  the  great  founder  of  the  Russian  empire  that  has  appeared  in  any 
language.  It  presents  a  vivid  portraiture  of  that  remarkable  man  who,  combin- 
ing in  his  own  character  all  the  characteristics  of  the  civilized  man  and  the  sav- 
age, impressed  his  own  mixed  character  upon  the  institutions  which  he  estab- 
lished. 

Pitcairn's  Island 

and  its  Inhabitants.     With  an  Authentic  Account  of  the  Mutiny

neers.    By  Sir  JOHN  BARROW,  F.R.S.     18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 
A  portion  of  the  crew  of  the  English  ship  Bounty  rose  against  their  officers,  and 
sent  them  adrift  upon  the  sea  in  an  open  boat.     The  mutineers,  with  a  number 
of  native  women,  at  length  took  possession  of  an  uninhabited  island,  and,  in  the 
course  of  a  year  or  two,  almost  all  of  them  perished  in  quarrels  among  themselves. 
The  sole  survivor  of  the  mutineers  now  repented  of  his  evil  courses,  and  became 
the  religious  instructor  of  the  native  women  and  their  children.     After  many 
years  the  island  was  accidentally  visited  by  an  English  vessel,  who  found  the  in- 
habitants grown  up  into  a  well-ordered  community.     This  volume  narrates  the 
perilous  adventures  of  the  officers  who  were  put  adrift,  and  the  conduct  of  the 
mutineers  and  their  peaceful  descendants.     The  whole  story  is  full  of  interest.

ices of  the  countries  spoken  of,  together  with  references  to  the  New  Testament, 
and  practical  remarks,  as  would  tend  to  increase  both  the  interest,  utility,  and 
value  of  the  book.

thor's "  Thirty  Years'  War."

arts,  yet,  as  being' free  from  the  dry  details  and  technicalities  of  virtu,  and  abound- 
ing throughout  with  personal  anecdote,  they  are  not  less  alluring  than  instruct- 
ive to  the  ordinary  reader.

These  world-renowned  Oriental  tales  are  among  the  most  cherished  of  our  lit- 
erary stories.     The  delight  with  which  all  classes  of  readers  seize  upon  the  fas- 
cinating tissue,  is  no  whit  less  than  that  which  enchains  a  circle  of  Arabs  as 
they  sit  round  their  fire  in  the  desert,  forgetting  the  toils  and  hardships  of  the 
day  in  the  splendid  creations  of  Oriental  fancy.     Stories  of  genii  and  afrites,  en- 
chanted horses,  and  women  whose  heauty  causes  the  beholder  to  faint  away,  are 
as  easy  to  believe  as  ever,  and  possess  a  power  over  the  imagination  which  will 
last  as  long  as  human  nature.     This  superbly  embellished  edition  presents  an 
unrivaled  specimen  of  typographical  art.

These  volumes  comprise  the  lives  of  more  than  thirty  of  the  most  celebrated 
travelers,  from  the  time  of  Rubruquis  and  Marco  Polo,  who  brought  back  such 
strange  stories  about  the  Tartar  Khans,  down  to  the  better-informed  voyagers  of 
our  own  days,  who  have  undertaken  to  explore  the  still  more  mysterious  coun- 
tries of  Central  Africa.  The  reader  will  here  find  the  substance  of  many  ponder- 
ous volumes,  to  be  met  with  only  in  great  libraries — all  the  more  valuable  be- 
cause of  the  omission  of  many  trifling  or  unreliable  facts.

The  well-deserved  and  long-established  reputation  of  this  valuable  companion 
and  key  to  the  Sacred  Scriptures  renders  it  almost  superfluous  to  add  any  thing 
respecting  the  purposes  and  aim  of  the  work.     It  is  the  life-labor  of  a  devoted  and 
learned  Biblical  Scholar,  who  combined  profound  erudition  and  knowledge  of 
Oriental  language  and  literature  with  equal  piety.    Perhaps  there  is  no  work  of 
its  size  more  useful  in  the  study  of  the  Scriptures.    It  will  be  found  peculiarly 
useful  to  students  of  divinity  and  theologians,  as  well  as  for  family  reference. 
This  edition,  it  should  be  remembered,  is  a  faithful  reprinfr  of  the  last  authorized

This  complete  history  of  one  of  the  most  remarkable  of  military  contests  is  the

a  condensed  and  penetrating  statement  of  the  leading  ideas,  a  rapid  discussion 
of  each  topic,  and  an  abrupt  dismissal  of  it,  which  are  unknown  in  the  American 
pulpit."

In  this  attractive  volume,  Dr.  Reed  delineates  a  Christian  character  of  great 
excellence,  as  developed  in  the  ordinary  relations  of  life.  It  is  beautifully  writ- 
ten. The  graces  of  an  only  and  beloved  sister,  and  the  affectionate  sensibilities 
of  the  brother,  are  eloquently  impressed  on  almost  every  page,  in  a  spirit  which 
it  is  delightful  to  contemplate.

The  following  exhibits  a  brief  analysis  of  this  work :  its  first  part  comprises 
an  abridgment  of  the  great  work  of  Schwartz  on  the  History  of  Education,  in  the 
preparation  of  which  the  translator  has  aimed  to  preserve,  in  all  its  integrity, 
the  spirit  and  value  of  the  original ;  incorporating  much  collateral  matter  tend- 
ing to  the  greater  completeness  and  elucidation  of  the  historic  sketch.  The 
second  portion  presents  an  original  plan  of  mental  culture,  in  which  the  various 
aspects  of  the  subject — its  physical,  moral,  and  intellectual  phases  —  are  fully 
discussed.  This  division  of  the  work  has  been  based  upon  notes  taken  by  the 
editor  in  short  hand  at  the  time,  while  attending  the  lectures  of  a  distinguished 
German  professor  on  pedagogics ;  to  which  other  valuable  additions  have  been 
made  on  physical  education,  &c.

JOHN  VON  MULLER.  Compared  throughout  with  the  Original,  re- 
vised, corrected,  and  illustrated  by  a  Notice  of  the  Life  and  Writ- 
ings of  the  Author,  by  ALEXANDER  EVERETT.  4  vols.  12mo,  Mus- 
lin, $3  00. 

Muller,  notwithstanding  the  claims  of  many  able  writers  who  have  succeeded 
him,  is  still  considered  as  the  first  among  the  historians  of  his  country.  His 
"History  of  the  World"  is  admitted  to  possess  most  of  those  characteristics 
which  unite  in  forming  a  classical  work  of  permanent  authority  and  value.

Consistency  of  Revelation 

with  Itself,  and  with  human  Reason.  By  PHILIP  N.  SHUTTLE-

This  is  a  calm  but  masterly  treatise.  The  writer  is  a  philosopher  and  a  Chris- 
tian. Though  having  unshaken  faith  in  Scriptural  authorities,  our  author  has 
not  taken  shelter  under  the  banner  of  inspired  writers ;  but,  resting  on  himself 
and  his  noble  cause  alone,  comes  boldly  forward  to  meet  the  infidel  on  his  own 
ground,  and  in  an  unimpassioned  but  persuasive  argument  to  prove  that  the  doc- 
trines set  forth  in  Revelation  wear  the  proud  authority  of  truth,  and  are  consis- 
tent with  the  human  understanding.

The  original  work  of  Magendie  has  enjoyed  a  most  flattering  reputation  as  a

dren is  had  in  view  throughout  the  work  ;  and  to  the  dyspeptic  it  will  prove  a 
treasure,  as  it  shows  how  many  of  the  best  dishes  can  be  so  made  as  to  be  as 
wholesome  as  a  bran  biscuit,  while  the  latent  harm  of  every  dish  is  pointed  out.

bela,  of  Hastings,  of  the  Spanish  Armada,  of  Blenheim,  of  Saratoga,  and  of  Wa-

tastes,  &c.

rors of  the  Revolution  have  acted  powerfully  upon  his  imagination  ;  he  is  alive 
to  every  romantic  incident  in  the  fortunes  of  the  falling  dynasty;  but  he  hasjevi- 
dently  investigated  his  subject  with  discrimination  and  good  faith  ;  no  circum- 
stance, however  trivial,  is  permitted  to  escape  his  attention ;  and  writing  with 
united  judgment  and  enthusiasm,  he  has  produced  a  narrative  of  rare  beauty 
as  well  as  touching  pathos.

This  narrative  of  James  P.  Beckwourth  lets  the  reader  into  the  social  and 
political  life  of  our  Indian  tribes.  Himself  a  chief  of  one  of  the  most  powerful 
nations,  adopting  the  habits  of  the  red  man,  and  entering  into  all  their  customs, 
after  more  than  twenty  years  of  varied  experience,  he  sits  down  and  relates  his 
adventures.  They  were  written  as  they  fell  from  his  own  lips,  and  have  the 
charm  which  arises  from  the  consciousness  on  the  part  of  the  reader  that  they 
are  truthful,  and  relate  what  has  really  taken  place  in  the  history  of  a  remarkable 
man.  No  book  professing  to  give  the  manners  and  customs  of  our  Indian  tribes 
in  any  way  approaches  in  novelty  and  interest  this  extraordinary  Autobiography 
of  James  P.  Beckwourth.

Sylvan  Holt's  Daughter, 


A  Novel.    By  HOLME  LEE.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

We  can  say  of  "  Sylvan  Holt's  Daughter  what  few  fictions  would  justify  us  in 
saying,  that  we  believe  no  one  can  read  it  without  becoming  wiser  and  better,  or 
without  a  feeling  of  gratitude  to  the  writer  who  can  present  to  us  such  varied 
aspects  of  our  common  nature  in  so  piquant  and  interesting  a  style,  without  one 
word  or  one  idea  to  shock  or  displease  the  most  sensitive  moral  feeling.  We 
know  of  no  work  superior  in  the  idiomatic  vigor  of  its  style,  or  in  the  delicacy 
and  truth  of  its  feelings.  It  is  evidently  the  result  of  profound  observation  and 
careful  study,  and  could  have  been  written  only  by  a  person  of  great  analytic 
powers  and  an  intimate  acquaintance  with  the  springs  and  motives  of  human 
conduct  in  almost  every  station  of  life. — Illustrated  Xeios  of  the  World.

Vaux's  Architecture, 

Villas  and  Cottages :  A  Series  of  Designs  Prepared  for  Execution 
in  the  United  States.  By  CALVERT  VAUX,  Archt.  (late  DOWN- 
ING &  VAUX),  Newburg  on  the  Hudson.  Illustrated  by  300  En- 
gravings. 8vo,  Muslin,  $2  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $3  00. 
This  copiously  illustrated  work  affords  a  storehouse  of  practical  suggestions  to 
all  who  are  interested  in  the  building  of  country  houses  in  America ;  and  as  the 
architectural  designs  of  which  it  is  composed  have  been  for  the  most  part  pre- 
pared in  detail  for  actual  execution,  this  work  has  the  all-important  advantage 
of  being  the  result  of  lona  fide  experience  both  on  the  part  of  employers  and 
architect.  It  also  contains  a  much-needed  chapter,  in  which  the  special  features 
of  interest  that  occur  in  building  country  houses  are  touched  on  and  drawn  in 
detail,  and  a  valuable  amount  of  information  on  these  points  is  thus  introduced 
in  a  condensed,  intelligible  manner.  To  avoid  any  confusion  of  ideas  in  exam- 
ining the  book,  the  various  illustrations  are  so  arranged  that  the  whole  scope  of 
each  design  may  be  comprehended  at  a  glance ;  and  the  vignettes  that  are  ap- 
pended to  the  designs  have  afforded  opportunities  for  treating  in  an  artistic  man- 
ner many  interesting  accessories  that  have  hitherto  scarcely  attracted  the  atten- 
tion they  deserve.  To  a  great  number  of  persons  this  volume  will  have  an  addi- 
tional interest,  as  it  contains  saveral  designs  that  were  prepared  while  the  author 
was  in  partnership  with  the  late  A.  J.  Downing,  whose  well-known  works  have 
had  such  a  beneficial  influence  on  rural  taste  in  the  United  States.

in  his  own  country,  and  it  has  been  carefully  translated  hy  an  accomplished  En- 
glish lady.     It  is  intended  to  describe  the  spirit  of  slavery  which  is  found  in  va- 
rious conditions  and  institutions  of  European  society.      The  plot  serves  as  a 
framework  for  a  series  of  vivid  pictures  of  life  and  manners  on  the  Continent, 
and  many  of  its  sketches  exhibit  uncommon  power.

The  influence  of  religious  principle,  as  illustrated  in  the  biography  of  several 
eminently  pious  individuals,  is  the  subject  of  this  volume.  John  Bnnyan  is  made 
the  representative  of  the  "Good  Soldier;"  Gerhardt  Tersteegen  of  the  "Chris- 
tian Laborer;11  James  Montgomery  of  the  "  Christian  Man  of  Letters;"  Freder- 
ick Perthes  of  the  "Man  of  Business;1'  and  Mary  Winslow  of  the  "Christian 
Mother."  The  author  has  skillfully  constructed  a  series  of  interesting  narra- 
tives from  the  most  salient  incidents  of  their  lives,  producing  a  work  of  practical 
religious  value,  without  formality  and  dryness.

Edwards's  Travels  in  Europe, 

Random  Sketches  and  Notes  of  European  Travel  in  1856.  By 
Rev.  JOHN  E.  EDWARDS,  A.M.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 
The  author  of  these  readable  and  useful  sketches  visited  England,  Scotland, 
France,  Germany,  and  Italy,  for  the  benefit  of  his  health,  with  three  young 
companions,  and  kept  a  copious  journal  of  his  daily  experience.  The  work  is 
graphic  and  interesting,  and  at  the  same  time  entirely  practical  in  its  charac- 
ter, and  adapted  to  the  use  of  travelers.  It  consists  of  an  actual  record  of  in- 
cidents in  the  order  of  their  occurrence,  and  hence  possesses  great  interest  for 
future  tourists  who  may  go  over  the  same  ground,  as  well  as  for  those  who  read 
only  for  instruction  or  amusement.  It  has  the  merits  of  an  excellent  guide-boo.k, 
to  which  is  added  the  attraction  of  personal  adventure.

8vo,  Muslin,  $2  00. 

The  author  visited  Honduras  in  the  capacity  of  a  mining  adventurer,  and,  un- 
der the  special  protection  of  the  Government,  penetrated  into  a  portion  of  the 
State  known  as  Olancho,  and  famed  throughout  Central  America  for  its  valuable 
gold  mines.  Here  he  spent  the  greater  part  of  a  year,  closely  examining  the 
mineral  and  agricultural  capacities  of  the  country,  joining  in  the  primitive  cus- 
toms of  this  secluded  people,  and  acting  to  some  extent  the  part  of  a  Robinson 
Crusoe.  The  climate,  plants,  birds,  and  the  habits  of  the  people  are  closely  ob- 
served, and  detailed  with  a  graphic  and  felicitous  pen :  adventures  by  river  and 
field  follow  one  another  in  rapid  succession,  and  these  are  interspersed  with  de- 
scriptions of  scenery  and  costume  and  frequent  dashes  of  humor.  The  work  is 
embellished  with  numerous  engravings  from  original  drawings,  and  is  prefaced 
with  an  accurate  map  of  the  country.

history  of  each  of  the  islands,  together  with  sketches  of  missionary  life  and  work 
in  each.     Madagascar,  Java,  Iceland,  Ceylon,  and  New  Zealand,  are  the  islands 
which  are  successively  treated  of.

ble moral  tendency.

rules  and  precepts,  but  is  marked  by  a  warm  glow  of  vitality,  which  is  eloquence 
in  itself.  A  more  original  and  suggestive  work  on  the  subject  has  never  been

THACKERAY'S  WORKS. 

Thackeray's  novels  are  an  indispensible  portion  of  every  well-selected  library. 
His  vivid  pictures  of  real  life,  his  keen  perception  of  the  shams  and  pretense 
that  lurk  under  an  imposing  exterior,  his  biting  sarcasm  on  fashionable  follies, 
his  anatomical  dissection  of  character,  with  the  terse  and  pointed  vigor  of  his 
style,  place  him  in  the  front  rank  of  English  fiction-writers,  and  assure  a  lasting 
fame  to  his  productions.  The  personages  who  have  been  the  subjects  of  his  caus- 
tic pen  appear  like  the  men  and  women  whom  we  meet  in  the  daily  walks  of  so- 
ciety, and,  by  their  life-like  naturalness,  make  an  indelible  impression  on  the 
imagination  and  memory.  No  popular  novelist  has  succeeded  so  well  in  repre- 
senting the  darker  shades  of  human  nature  without  indulging  in  exaggeration 
or  description  of  low  depravity.  His  works  are  no  less  valuable  as  an  introduc- 
tion to  a  knowledge  of  the  world  than  as  an  inexhaustible  fund  of  entertainment. 

Why  have  I  alluded  to  this  man?  I  have  alluded  to  him,  reader,  because  I 
think  I  see  in  him  an  intellect  profounder  and  more  unique  than  his  contempo- 
raries have  yet  recognized  ;  because  I  regard  him  as  the  first  social  regenerator 
of  the  day — as  the  very  master  of  that  working  corps  who  would  restore  to  rec- 
titude the  warped  system  of  things;  because  1  think  no  commentator  on  his  writ- 
ings has  yet  found  the  comparison  that  suits  him,  the  terms  which  rightly  char- 
acterize his  talent.  They  say  he  is  like  Fielding;  they  talk  of  his  wit,  humor, 
comic  powers.  He  resembles  Fielding  as  an  eagle  does  a  vulture ;  Fielding  could 
stoop  on  carrion,  but  Thackeray  never  does.  His  wit  is  bright,  his  humor  attrac- 
tive, but  both  bear  the  same  relation  to  his  serious  genius  that  the  mere  lam- 
bent sheet-lightning,  playing  nnder  the  edge  of  the*  summer  cloud,  does  to  the 
electric  death-spark  hid  in  its  womb. — "  CTJEBEE  BELL,"  Author  of  Jane  Eyre,

In  none  of  the  productions  of  Thackeray's  pen  is  his  admirable  genius  exhib- 
ited to  greater  advantage  than  in  these  exquisite  sketches  of  the  English  humor- 
ists. His  fine  and  subtle  criticisms  of  their  literary  characteristics  are  by  no 
means  the  most  valuable  feature  of  the  work.  He  aims  rather  at  giving  a  faith- 
ful portraiture  of  their  personal  traits  ;  at  presenting  them  in  the  familiarity  of 
their  homes  and  habitual  haunts ;  at  showing  us  the  men  whom  we  have  chiefly 
known  as  writers,  and  enabling  the  readers  to  trace  their  characters  in  their  pro- 
ductions. Such  a  gallery  of  intellectual  celebrities,  with  pictures  so  accurately 
drawn,  so  brilliantly  colored,  and  BO  exquisitely  shaded,  is  not  to  be  found  in  any

Sandwich  Island  Notes, 

By  a  Haole'.    With  Illustrations.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

As  a  mere  nai-rative,  this  book  will  abundantly  repay  perusal ;  but  considered 
in  the  light  of  the  information  presented,  it  becomes  very  valuable  and  import- 
ant. The  author  gives  a  lively,  and  apparently  a  truthful  description  of  scenes 
that  came  under  his  own  observation,  illustrative  of  the  peculiar  manners  and 
customs  of  the  natives.  An  intelligent  correspondent  in  the  Sandwich  Islands 
pronounces  the  work  "  the  most  important  and  correct  view  of  the  islands,  as 
they  now  are,  that  has  appeared  from  the  American  press."

<P-L   OU. 

This  work  was  originally  compiled  for  the  London  Society  for  the  Diffusion  of 
Useful  Knowledge,  and  consists  of  brief  sketches  of  a  large  number  of  personages 
who  have  risen  to  eminence  in  the  various  walks  of  life,  from  humble  circum- 
stances, and  with  no  other  aid  than  that  supplied  by  their  own  inherent  energies. 
It  is  an  admirable  book  for  the  thoughtful  study  of  the  young,  and  abounds  in 
lessons  of  perseverance,  patience,  and  hope,  which  can  not  be  too  frequently  or 
profoundly  pondered.  The  notes  and  hints  of  Dr.  Wayland  display  the  wisdom 
and  sense  for  which  he  is  conspicuous.  The  authorship  of  the  work  is  ascribed 
to  Mr.  G.  L.  Craik,  one  of  the  editors  of  the  Pictorial  History  of  England.

dental illustrations  of  the  principles  of  Russian  government.  Mr.  Curzon's  de-

and  informing,  conveying  by  its  minute  pictures  of  daily  life,  and  its  sketches 
of  the  country,  an  apparently  truthful  idea  of  Armenia.

The  Boyhood  of  Great  Men, 

By  JOHN  G.  EDGAR,  Author  of  "The  Footprints  of  Famous  Men" 
and  "History  for  Boys."  With  Illustrations.  IGnio,  Muslin,  60 
cents. 

The  child  is  father  to  the  man,  and  few  great  men  have  ever  lived  whose  boy- 
hood did  not  give  abundant  promise  of  their  future  eminence.  In  this  volume  is 
given  the  early  life  of  about  fifty  of  the  greatest  men  whom  the  world  has  ever 
known.  They  comprise  poets  and  philosophers,  sailors  and  soldiers,  painters  and 
sculptors,  lawyers  and  divines,  musicians  and  scholars.  More  instructive  and 
cheering  examples  than  are  contained  in  these  early  biographies  it  would  not  be 
possible  to  find.  The  boy  who  reads  them  without  being  roused  to  emulation 
must  be  dull  indeed. 


The  Footprints  of  Famous  Men, 

By  JOHN  G.  EDGAR,  Author  of  "  The  Boyhood  of  Great  Men" 

and   "History  for   Boys."     With  Illustrations.     16mo,  Muslin, 

60  cents. 

A  popular  view  of  the  history  of  several  eminent  characters,  arranged  under 
the  heads  of  Men  of  Action,  Men  of  Letters,  Artists,  and  Men  of  Science.  Among 
the  persons  whose  biography  is  briefly  related  are  Washington,  Burke,  Pitt, 
Southey,  Moore,  Sir  Joshua  Reynolds,  Sir  Francis  Chantrey,  Adam  Smith,  &c. 
The  work  sets  forth  examples  of  distinguished  excellence,  which  it  commemo- 
rates in  an  attractive  and  encouraging  form,  with  a  variety  of  illustrations,  suit- 
ed to  make  a  pleasing  impression  on  the  youthful  mind.  At  the  same  time,  the 
accurate  biographical  information  which  it  contains,  together  with  its  sound  and 
discriminating  comments  on  eminent  public  characters,  commend  it  to  the  at- 
tention of  all  classes  of  readers.  It  is  one  of  those  books  which,  on  account  of 
its  condensation  of  facts  and  its  popular  style,  should  find  a  place  in  every  fam- 
ily, school,  and  town  library. 


History  for  Boys; 

Or,  Annals  of  the  Nations  of  Modern  Europe.  By  JOHN  G.  ED- 
GAR, Author'  of  "The  Boyhood  of  Great  Men"  and  "  The  Foot- 
prints of  Famous  Men."  With  Illustrations.  16mo,  Muslin,  60 
cents. 

The  annals  of  the  modern  European  nations  are  here  narrated  in  a  concise  and 
agreeable  style,  somewhat  resembling  Scott's  Tales  of  a  Grandfather.  The  nar- 
rative is  remarkably  compact  without  being  obscure  from  its  brevity.  The  lan- 
guage is  not  let  down  to  the  supposed  level  of  a  child's  comprehension,  but,  while 
it  is  animated,  it  is  uniformly  chaste  and  dignified.  It  is  a  good  book  for  be- 
ginners in  the  study  of  history  of  all  ages.  It  would  be  valuable  in  families  as 
a  convenient  book  of  reference,  as  well  as  in  schools.

The  History,  Government,  Doctrines,  Customs,  and  Prospects  of 
the  Latter-day  Saints.  From  personal  Observations  during  a  Six 
Months'  Residence  in  Great  Salt  Lake  City.  By  BENJAMIN  G. 
FERRIS,  late  Secretary  of  Utah  Territory.  With  numerous  Illus- 
trations. 12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

The  author  resided  in  the  valley  of  the  Great  Salt  Lake  for  six  months,  during 
which  time  he  had  ample  opportunities  to  examine  tl*e  customs  and  institutions 
of  the  eccentric  people  who  claim  to  be  the  chosen  saints  of  the  "latter  days." 
The  historical  details  which  he  has  gathered  and  embodied  in  this  volume  are 
quite  complete  and  full  of  interest.  Tracing  the  progress  of  the  extraordinary 
imposture  from  the  pretended  discovery  of  the  Golden  Plates  of  the  Book  of  Mor- 
mon to  the  present  formidable  industrial,  social,  and  missionary  organization, 
he  describes  the  portentous  steps  of  folly  and  crime  by  which  the  followers  of 
the  miscreant,  JOSEPH  SMITH,  have  attained  their  actual  position  in  the  public 
eye. 

History  of  the  American  Revolution,

A  concise  and  clear  narration  of  the  chief  events  of  the  American  Revolution, 
sustaining,  by  the  simple  recital  of  facts,  without  adornment,  unabated  interest 
from  beginning  to  end.  Another  thing  in  its  favor  is,  that  it  was  originally  pub- 
lished under  the  supervision  of  the  London  Society  for  the  Diffusion  of  Useful 
Knowledge.  The  pictorial  illustrations  give  interest  to  the  work,  and  its  numer- 
ous maps  will  greatly  assist  the  scholar  or  reader  in  a  perusal  of  its  pages.

lie  beyond.  All  these  subjects  are  treated  in  a  popular  and  attractive  manner.

same  time  popular  in  its  character,  presenting  in  an  attractive  form  just  the  in- 
formation which  such  persons  desire  and  need.  Dr.  Tracy  is  a  scientific  and 
skillful  physician,  who  has  an  inquiring,  observing,  and  discriminating  mind ; 
and  he  has  had  more  than  ordinary  opportunities  for  learning  the  wants  of  those 
for  whom  he  writes,  and  to  meet  them  successfully.  His  book  can  not  fail  to  ex- 
ert a  healthful  influence.

pended a  vast  number  of  anecdotes  relating  to  Americans  and  American  topics, 
drawn  from  a  variety  of  sources.  This  collection  is  honorably  distinguished 
from  most  works  of  its  general  class  by  the  fact,  that  while  it  contains  the  out- 
pouring of  wit  and  humor,  the  most  scrupulous  care  has  been  taken  to  exclude 
every  thing  in  the  slightest  degree  bordering  upon  profanity  or  vulgarity.

of  the  formation  of  mankind.     The  second  volume  relates  to  the  divine  economy, 
as  manifested  in  the  special  history  of  human  affairs.     The  third  volume  has  ref- 
erence to  the  means  adopted  for  the  perpetuation  and  support  of  the  human  race, 
to  the  system  of  social  order,  and  to  the  supernatural  history  of  the  world.     It 
abounds  in  bold  speculation,  ingenious  suggestion,  and  profound  investigation.

a  Wonderful  Boy  written  for  Boys.  By  HENRY  MAYHEW.  16mo, 
Muslin,  75  cents. 

In  the  story,  as  Mr.  Mayhew  tells  it,  there  is  no  lack  of  incident.  If  all  that 
Davy  accomplished  is  not  narrated,  most  of  it  is  foreshadowed,  and  this  is  done 
with  a  tact  which  is  second  nature  to  the  author,  and  the  results  of  which  are 
most  attractive  to  the  reader.  Though  written  for  boys,  the  volume  may  be 
profitably  consulted  by  both  ages  and  all  sexes.  Older  readers  will  find  in  it  a 
story  with  excitement  enough  for  those  who  need  such  stimulus,  and,  what  is 
far  better,  with  a  practical  wisdom  in  its  pages,  a  pouring  forth  of  knowledge  in 
its  naturally  told  incidents,  an  artistic  grouping  of  characters,  and  a  healthiness 
of  tone,  such  as  distinguish  few  bocks,  and  no  boys'  books  but  those  of  Mr.  May-

An  ingenious  and  highly  successful  attempt  to  popularize  the  principles  of 
natural  science  in  a  manner  adapted  to  the  comprehension  of  the  youthful  mind. 
Mr.  Mayhew's  exposition  of  the  principles  of  science  is  simple  and  attractive. 
In  a  style  that  is  a  model  of  descriptive  composition  for  juvenile  readers,  he  elu- 
cidates the  methods  of  astronomy  and  mechanics,  connecting  the  exact  results 
of  calculation  with  a  pleasing  dialogue,  and  just  enough  of  a  story  to  keep  curi-

This  work  exhibits  an  appalling  picture  of  the  lower  strata  of  civilization  in 
London  society.  Mr.  Mayhew's  disclosures  afford  a  pregnant  commentary  on 
the  moral  effects  of  the  present  intensely  competitive  system  of  labor  and  com- 
merce. His  revelations  are  startling,  at  times  almost  incredible,  bnt  always  in- 
structive. His  facts  are  sustained  by  ample  evidence,  and  are  more  impressive 
for  being  free  from  theory  or  speculation.

ciently full  and  copious  to  supersede  the  necessity  for  the  more  gigantic  works

„  There  is  scarcely  a  more  stirring  life  in  the  whole  compass  of  literature  than 
that  of  Paul  Jones;  and  the  important  part  he  played  in  giving  force  and  almost 
life  itself  to  the  American  navy,  then  in  its  earliest  infancy,  renders  his  history 
peculiarly  interesting  and  attractive.  His  life  should  be  familiar  to  American 
readers;  and,  in  the  elegant,  forcible,  and  graphic  style  of  Commander  Macken- 
zie, it  can  not  fail  to  be  universally  read.

Here  in  a  small  compass  is  presented  an  immense  mass  of  useful  and  attract- 
ive information.  There  are  few  who  will  read  this  work  but  will  wish  to  com- 
plete their  knowledge  of  the  ancient  Egyptians  by  perusing  the  more  elaborate

LL.D.  18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

The  Barbary  States,  comprising  Algiers,  Tripoli,  and  Tunis,  present  many 
features  of  striking  interest.  As  the  residence  of  those  corsairs  who  so  long  laid 
Christendom  under  tribute,  and  as  the  seat  of  white  slavery  for  so  many  years, 
their  history  is  well  worth  perusal.

The  history  of  the  Lord  Protector  of  England  is  exceedingly  interesting.  The 
strange  anomaly  which  his  success  introduced  into  the  line  of  rulers  in  England, 
the  influence  of  that  success  upon  other  countries,  and  especially  upon  succeed- 
ing generations,  his  ideas  of  liberty,  and  his  plan  for  effecting  a  public  good,  are 
all  well  worthy  of  attention.

Two  Years  Before  the  Mast, 

A  Personal  Narrative  of  Life  at  Sea.    By  E.  H.  DANA,  Jr.    18mo, 

Muslin,  45  cents. 

The  author  of  this  work  is  now  an  eminent  lawyer  of  Boston.  Some  years  ago 
he  shipped  as  a  sailor  before  the  mast  on  board  a  vessel  bound  to  California  for 
a  cargo  of  hides.  His  account  of  a  sailor's  every-day  life  is  the  most  graphic  and 
accurate  any  where  to  be  found.  The  British  Government  were  so  sensible  of  the 
rare  merits  of  this  volume,  that  they  caused  it  to  be  reprinted  in  England,  and 
distributed  a  large  edition  gratuitously  among  the  sailors.  The  voyage  was 
made  long  before  the  discovery  of  gold  in  California  ;  and  it  is  not  a  little  curi- 
ous to  compare  the  present  condition  of  that  country  with  the  aspect  it  formerly 
presented.

recent  discoveries,  and  has  also  furnished  such  a  luminous  development  of  the 
difficulties  of  the  Xovum  Organum,  as  has  been  vainly  hoped  for  in  former

Life  of  the  Chevalier  Bayard, 

By  W.  GILMORE  SIMMS.     Engravings.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

Bayard,  the  "chevalier  without  fear  and  without  reproach,"  was  one  of  those 
noble  and  chivalrous  natures  which  are  sometimes  produced  in  troublous  times. 
Trained  up  from  his  earliest  years  to  the  profession  of  arm.s,  living  among  scenes 
of  rapine  and  bloodshed,  he  breathed  a  spirit  of  gentleness  and  courtesy  rarely 
manifested  even  in  the  sphere  of  quiet  life.  He  was  one  of  those  rare  personages 
whose  lives  throw  a  brightness  and  glory  over  our  common  humanity.

The  extensive  popularity  of  these  biographies  is  one  of  the  strongest  evidences 
of  their  merit.  Within  a  very  few  months  after  the  publication  a  large  edition 
was  disposed  of,  and  the  work  was  established  as  a  standard.  Previous  to  their 
appearance  there  was  no  authentic  or  satisfactory  account  of  the  Indians.  All 
knowledge  of  their  true  character,  and  the  traits  for  which  they  were  renowned, 
existed  only  in  oral  tradition.

The  story  of  the  wars  carried  on  upon  our  borders  during  the  American  Revo- 
lution is  full  of  the  most  exciting  incidents.  No  man  was  better  qualified  to  do 
justice  to  this  subject  than  the  author  of  this  volume.  He  was  thoroughly  ac- 
quainted with  the  fierce  encounters  carried  on  in  what  was,  at  that  time,  the  Far

ble, constant,  and  watchful  in  his  religious  duties,  as  he  was  honest  in  purpose, 
sagacious  in  counsel,  and  mighty  in  the  battle-field.  The  subject  is  one  which

Neander's  Life  of  Christ, 

Life  of  Christ ;  in  its  Historical  Connection  and  its  Historical  De- 
velopment.   By  AUGUSTUS  NEANDER.    Translated  from  the  Fourth 
German  Edition,  by  Professors  M'CLINTOCK  and  BLUMENTHAL,  of 
Dickinson  College.     8vo,  Muslin,  $2  00  ;  Sheep  extra,  $2  25. 
This  great  work  of  Dr.  Neander's,  now  first  translated,  forms  a  necessary  in- 
troduction to  his  General  History  of  the  Christian  Religion  and  Church.     Its 
reputation  in  Germany  is  too  well  known  for  it  to  need  commendation  here.     In- 
dependently of  its  value  as  an  antidote  to  the  modern  skeptical  criticism,  wheth- 
er of  rationalistic  or  the  mythical  school,  the  work  has  taken  its  place  as  a  stand- 
ard authority  on  many  points  of  chronology  and  interpretation,  and  is,  indeed, 
regarded  by  many  as  the  best  commentary  upon  the  four  Gospels  now  extant. 
To  those  who  have  been  accustomed  only  to  expository  works  of  the  English 
school  of  theology,  it  will  open  an  entirely  new  view  of  the  life  of  the  Savior, 
while,  at  the  same  time,  its  profound  spirituality,  breathing  the  very  spirit  of  re- 
ligion and  humility,  can  not  fail  to  render  it  as  serviceable  to  the  cause  of  prac- 
tical holiness  as  of  scientific  theology.

A  book  that  has  already  received  hearty  commendation  from  all  quarters. 
Its  new  improvements  entitle  it  still  more  strongly  to  general  favor.     Whoever 
raises  poultry  ought  to  procure  it,  as  it  would  save  him  ten  times  its  price  every 
year.

History  in  Columbia  College,  N.  Y.  A  New  Edition.  12mo, 
Muslin,  75  cents. 

The  compiler's  design  in  this  useful  work  is  to  afford  means  of  forming  strong 
character,  awakening  generous  impulses,  and  invigorating  the  mind  for  future 
action,  by  encouraging  an  early  familiarity  with  great  events,  and  with  those 
prominent  men  whose  bold  deeds  and  persevering  exertions  were  crowned  with 
lasting  effects,  or  whose  loftiness  of  purpose  renders  them  inspiring  examples.

general  Dissemination  of  Rational  and  Scientific  Information

Dick's  Celestial  Scenery, 

Celestial  Scenery:  or,  The  Wonders  of  the  Planetary  System  dis-

Worlds.  By  THOMAS  DICK,  LL.D.  Engravings.  18mo,  Muslin, 
45  cents. 

This  work  is  designed  as  initiatory  to  the  sublime  study  of  Astronomy.  The 
author's  aim  has  been  to  avoid  entering  on  the  more  abstruse  and  recondite  por- 
tions of  the  science,  and  to  confine  the  attention  of  the  reader  to  the  exhibition 
of  facts,  the  foundation  on  which  they  rest,  and  the  reasonings  by  which  they 
are  supported.  All  the  prominent  facts  and  discoveries  connected  with  descrip- 
tive astronomy,  in  so  far  as  they  relate  to  the  planetary  system,  are  here  re- 
coYded,  and  many  of  them  are  exhibited  in  anew  point  of  view;  while  several 
new  facts  and  observations  are  detailed  which  have  hitherto  been  either  unno- 
ticed or  unrecorded. 

Dick's  Sidereal  Heavens, 

The  Sidereal  Heavens,  and  other  Subjects  connected  with  Astron-

finity of  Worlds.  By  THOMAS  DICK,  LL.D.  Engravings.  18mo, 
Muslin,  45  cents. 

In  the  present  volnme  the  author  has  grouped  together  and  presented  in  a  pop- 
ular and  intelligible  manner  the  great  leading  facts  connected  with  a  survey  of 
the  sidereal  heavens,  so  that  those  who  posses  little  or  no  knowledge  of  mathe- 
matical science  may  easily  comprehend  its  details.  As  in  his  previous  writings, 
the  author  has  embodied  with  his  descriptions  such  remarks  and  moral  reflections 
as  were  naturally  suggested  by  the  grandeur  of  his  subject. 

Dick's  Practical  Astronomer, 

The  Practical  Astronomer ;  comprising  Illustrations  of  Light  and 
Colors,  Practical  Descriptions  of  all  Kinds  of  Telescopes,  the  use

struments, a  particular  Account  of  the  Earl  of  Rosse's  large  Tel- 
escopes, and  other  Topics  connected  with  Astronomy.  By  THOMAS 
DICK,  LL.D.  Illustrated  with  100  Engravings.  12mo,  Muslin, 
45  cents. 

An  extremely  interesting,  valuable,  and  useful  book.  It  is  a  treatise  on  the 
properties  of  light;  and  the  author,  in  his  usual  clear  style  and  pleasant  man- 
ner, discusses  the  general  qualities  of  light,  its  refraction,  its  colors,  &c.  The 
volume  contains  a  particular  account  of  Rosse's  mammoth  telescope,  and  a  de- 
scription of  the  various  astronomical  instruments  now  in  use.  The  title  of  the 
book,  indeed,  gives  an  excellent  idea  of  its  scope  and  character.

Natural  History  of  Selborne, 

By  Rev.  GILBERT  WHITE.     Engravings.     18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

White's  Selborne  lays  bare  the  greater  part  of  a  life  devoted  to  literary  occupa- 
tions and  the  study  of  nature.  His  minute  and  interesting  facts,  the  entire  con- 
secration of  the  amiable  author  to  his  subject,  and  the  easy  elegance  and  sim- 
plicity of  his  style,  render  White's  history  a  universal  favorite — something  like 
Izaak  Walton's  book  on  angling,  which  all  admire  and  hundreds  have  endeav- 
ored to  copy.  The  retired  naturalist  was  too  full  of  facts  and  observations  to 
have  room  for  sentimental  writing,  yet  in  many  passages  we  may  trace  no  com- 
mon power  of  picturesque  painting. — CHAMBERS.

nius.    These  elegant  letters  are  celebrated  for  the  purity  of  their  style,  as  well 
as  for  the  faithful  picture  which  they  give  of  manners  and  scenery  in  Virginia.

Uncle  Philip's  Evidences  of  Christianity; 

Or,  Conversations  about  the  Truth  of  the  Christian  Religion. 

18mo,  Muslin,  35  cents. 

In  this  excellent  little  work  a  very  difficult  task  has  been  undertaken,  and  suc- 
cessfully accomplished — that  of  making  both  attractive  and  intelligible  to  the 
minds  of  the  young  the  great  and  striking  evidences  by  which  the  truth  of  our 
Divine  religion  is  established.  The  manner  in  which  the  subject  is  treated  is 
both  novel  and  ingenious ;  and  so  much  of  narrative  is  mingled  with  the  argu- 
ment as  to  make  it  not  only  impressive,  but  highly  interesting.

This  work  deserves  high  praise.     It  displays  much  tact  and  ingenuity,  guided 
by  sound  judgment,  and  controlled  by  fervent  piety.     Such  books  for  the  young

delight  in  it,  and  profit  by  it— The  Churchman.

Uncle  Philip  is  deservedly  a  great  favorite.     He  tells  his  stories  in  a  lively, 
agreeable  manner,  always  watching  for  an  opportunity  to  drop  a  word  of  wise 
counsel,  whfch,  coming  at  the  right  time,  sinks  as  deeply  into  the  heart  as  the 
most  affecting  incident  of  the  story.     The  present  work  contains  the  history  of 
Virginia,  from  the  first  attempts  of  the  colony  to  the  time  of  its  independence, 
embracing  the  tragic  story  of  Smith  and  Pocahontas.     The  book  is  suitable  for

The  productions  of  Uncle  Philip  are  all  distinguished  for  that  familiar,  easy- 
style  of  composition  so  peculiarly  adapted  to  children,  and  which  conveys  infor- 
mation through  a  channel  so  pleasing  as  to  make  its  acquisition  a  recreation 
rather  than  a  task.  The  mind  is  entertained  at  the  same  time  that  it  is  enlight- 
ened, and  the  child  has  its  amusement  within  the  compass  of  its  studies.

This  is  a  pleasing  and  instructive  series  of  memoirs  of  eminent  women  of  vari- 
ous countries  and  ages  of  the  world,  whose  heroism  and  intellectual  acquire- 
ments, or  virtue  and  piety,  have  immortalized  their  names  and  embalmed  their

minds  of  the  young,  a  beneficial  influence. 

Smith's  Consular  Cities  of  China.

of  the  Church  Missionary  Society,  in  the  Years  1844-46.  By  Rev. 
G.  SMITH.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25. 

The  primary  object  of  this  interesting  narrative  of  a  tour  among  the  newly- 
opened  cities  of  China  has  been  to  explore  the  ground,  and  exhibit  the  real  con- 
dition of  the  country  at  the  present  day.  The  work  is  especially  valuable  as  sup- 
plying important  data  for  rightly  estimating  the  moral,  social,  and  political  con- 
dition of  that  peculiar  people.  In  addition  to  the  above,  Mr.  Smith's  connection 
with  the  existing  British  missionary  operations  in  the  Chinese  Empire  has  ena- 
bled him  to  collect  a  valuable  store  of  information  respecting  that  interesting  re- 
ligious enterprise.  The  embellishments  to  the  work  are  unusually  effective, 
novel,  and  interesting.

Wheeler's  Life  and  Travels  of  Herodotus, 

The  Life  and  Travels  of  Herodotus  in  the  Fifth  Century  before 
Christ :  an  imaginary  Biography  founded  on  Fact,  illustrative  of 
the  History,  Manners,  Religion,  Literature,  Arts,  and  Social  Con- 
dition of  the  Greeks,  Egyptians,  Persians,  Babylonians,  Hebrews, 
Scythians,  and  other  Ancient  Nations,  in  the  Days  of  Pericles  and 
Nehemiah.  By  J.  TALBOYS  WHEELER,  F.R.G.S.  Map.  2  vols. 
12mo,  Muslin,  $  2  00. 

A  work  of  permanent  value,  written  on  the  plan  of  the  celebrated  Travels  of 
Anacharsis,  but  a  much  more  profound  and  complete  work  than  that  popular 
historical  concoction.  The  costume  is  of  course  fictitious,  purporting  to  represent 
the  personal  adventures  of  Herodotus,  his  private  life,  and  extensive  travels;  but 
under  this  attractive  garb  it  gives  a  picture  of  Greece,  Scythia,  Persia,  Egypt, 
&c.,  setting  forth  the  customs  and  manners  of  those  nations  in  a  pleasant  light.

11  The  combination  of  facts  and  arguments,  of  physical  and  moral  truths,  is  very 
ingenious;  and  besides  the  excellent  moral  impression  which  the  work  leaves,

when,  to  all  appearance,  there  were  no  means  or  prospect  of  deliverance.

Sir  Walter  Scott  has  given  sufficient  evidence  in  his  inimitable  novels  and

remoter  times.  In  this  volume  he  has  laid  open  the  stores  of  his  memory  and 
reading,  has  condensed  and  elucidated  the  subject;  in  many  cases  explaining, 
by  natural  causes,  occurrences  supposed  to  be  supernatural.  The  subject  is 
most  alluring,  and  the  manner  in  which  it  is  handled,  magical.

Many  a  more  ambitious  history  has  been  executed  with  less  talent  and  happy 
candor  than  these  moral  and  picturesque  sketches.     The  Lives  form  an  admirable 
illustration  of  the  female  character,  and  the  lessons  they  furnssh  abound  with 
instruction :  while  the  incidents  recorded  are  interesting,  not  only  in  themselves, 
but  as  authentic  details  of  remarkable  personages  whom  circumstances  or  per- 
sonal qualities  have  invested  with  claims  to  our  attention. 

Alton  Locke, 

Tailor  and  Poet.  An  Autobiography.  By  CHARLES  KINGSLEY. 
12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

A  political  and  religious  novel.  It  purports  to  be  the  history  of  a  youth  of  ge- 
nius doomed  to  struggle  with  the  most  abject  poverty,  and  forced  by  the  neces- 
sity of  his  position  to  become  a  Chartist  and  a  Radical.  The  book  abounds  with 
weighty  suggestions,  urgent  appeals,  vivid  pictures  of  popular  wretchedness,  deep 
sympathy  with  suffering,  and  a  pure  devotion  to  the  finer  and  nobler  instincts  of 
humanity.

rending pathos,  with  some  delineations  of  character,  which,  for  originality  of 
conception  and  force  of  coloring,  can  rarely  be  matched  in  contemporary  litera- 
ture.

Greatly  amended  and  enlarged  from  valuable  early  Manuscripts  , 
published  by  the  French  Society  of  Geography,  and  in  Italy  by 
Count  Baldelli  Boni.  With  copious  Notes,  illustrating  the  Routes

of  more  recent  Travelers,  by  HUGH  MURRAY,  F.R.S.E.  Maps  and 
a  Vignette.  18mo,  Muslin,  45  cents. 

A  romantic  and  interesting  work,  which  has  maintained  its  place  for  five  cen- 
turies, while  subsequent  works  of  the  kind  have  rather  tended  to  increase  than 
diminish  its  value — no  trifling  evidence  of  its  great  merit.  It  is  one  of  the  great 
literary  performances  that  originated  within  the  walls  of  a  dungeon,  Marco  Polo 
being,  at  the  time  of  its  composition,  imprisoned  at  Pisa.  This  enterprising  trav- 
eler explored  more  in  the  very  heart  of  the  Chinese  empire,  and  acquired  more 
intimate  knowledge  of  the  wandering  Tartars  of  Asia  than  any  one  of  his  pre- 
decessors, and  indeed,  it  may  be  added,  his  successors,  for  in  the  thirteenth  cen- 
tury he  enjoyed  the  immunity,  since  denied,  of  visiting  Pekin  with  his  eyes  open; 
his  description,  therefore,  can  not  but  be  interesting  and  valuable,  especially  at 
the  present  day.

to  intense  gravity  or  profound  wisdom.  One  reads  it  as  he  would  listen  to  the 
rattling  talk  of  the  author,  pleased  with  its  vivacity  and  unstarched  grace,  with 
its  off  hand  descriptions  of  comical  adventures,  and  its  glowing  pictures  of  natu-

of  the  mountain  or  the  sea,  courting  the  pleasures  of  country  life  with  the  first 
breath  of  the  morning,  sitting  under  the  shade  of  his  ancient  elms,  raising  his 
solemn  eyes  to  the  sublime  heights  of  Kearsarge,  listening  to  the  ocean's  roar, 
as  it  broke  against  the  rocky  shores  of  Plymouth  ;  admiring  the  symmetry  of 
his  noble  herds,  indulging  in  tender  reminiscences  of  his  lt  dear  kindred  blood,'* 
or  conversing  with  the  gray-haired  cultivators  of  the  soil,  with  whom  he  sported 
in  his  boyish  days,  as  he  revisited  the  hallowed  spot  where  "  the  rude  forefathers 
of  the  hamlet  sleep."

singular  aptness  of  illustration,  Dr.  Chalmers  was  eminently  qualified  to  present 
their  contents  in  an  edifying  form,  and  to  give  the  reader  a  fresh  perception  of 
their  significance  and  value.  The  admirers  of  the  theological  writings  of  this 
great  divine  will  find  an  ample  fund  of  gratification  in  these  characteristic  post- 
humous remains.

The  brave  and  magnanimous  life  of  the  distinguished  Scottish  preacher,  pro- 
fessor, and  philanthropist  is  described  in  glowing  but  faithful  colors  by  the  au- 
thor of  this  work,  whose  position,  as  a  near  relation  of  Dr.  Chalmers,  and  whose 
sympathy  with  his  genius,  are  a  guarantee  of  his  ability  to  do  justice  to  the  sub- 
ject. The  details  of  his  private  life  are  related  with  beautiful  simplicity,  while 
the  varied  details  of  his  public  career  are  dwelt  on  with  a  minuteness  corresponding 
to  their  importance.  Few  biographical  productions  are  so  well  adapted  to  interest 
the  intelligent  and  thoughtful  reader  as  these  memoirs  of  a  man  who  has  been  rare- 
ly surpassed  for  sweetness  of  disposition,  vigor  of  intellect,  and  fervor  of  piety.

The  letters  in  this  interesting  volume  form  an  appropriate  sequel  to  the  biog- 
raphy of  Dr.  Chalmers,  which  has  found  such  numerous  readers  on  both  sides 
of  the  Atlantic.  They  consist  of  selections  from  his  extensive  correspondence, 
for  the  most  part  on  subjects  connected  with  religion,  and  unfolding  his  private 
views  and  speculations  in  regard  to  those  sublime  themes  which  he  set  forth  with 
such  wealth  of  illustration  and  energy  of  rhetoric  from  the  pulpit,  the  lecture- 
room,  and  the  press.

Mr.  Cheever  writes  from  personal  observation.     It  would  be  difficult  to  ob-

Jarves's  Art  Hints. 

Art  Hints.  Architecture,  Sculpture,  and  Painting.  By  JAMES 
JACKSON  JARVES.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25;  Half  Calf,  $1  75. 
The  design  of  this  work  is  to  furnish  the  general  reader  with  a  comprehensive 
view  of  the  principles  of  Art.  Connected  with  a  profound  discussion  of  aesthetic 
theory,  it  also  gives  an  outline  of  the  historic  progress  and  social  relations  of 
art,  including  descriptive  and  critical  notices  of  the  most  celebrated  works  of  the 
great  European  masters.  The  volume  is  written  in  a  popular  style,  is  lucid  and  ac- 
curate in  its  expositions,  combines  independence  and  considerateness  in  its  critical 
judgments,  abounds  in  curious  and  valuable  information,  and,  at  times,  ri^es  to 
the  tone  of  grave  and  impressive  eloquence.  It  will  fill  a  place  in  the  library 
of  art  which  has  been  left  vacant,  even  with  the  admirable  writings  of  Ruskin, 
Leslie,  and  Mrs.  Jameson,  and  can  not  fail  of  being  read,  not  only  by  r.rtists  and 
amateurs  by  profession,  but  by  all  intelligent  and  cultivated  readers. 

Jarves's  Italian  Sights, 

Italian  Sights  and  Papal  Principles  seen  through  American  Spec- 
tacles. By  JAMES  JACKSON  JARVES.  Numerous  Illustrations. 
12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00V 

In  this  volume,  Mr.  Jarves  devotes  his  lively  pen  to  the  description  of  Italian 
society,  illustrating  the  manners  and  customs  of  the  people,  and  the  influence  of 
Catholic  principles  on  every-day  life.  The  frequent  notices  of  art  with  which 
the  work  abounds  present  many  valuable  suggestions,  and  furnish  an  agreeable 
variety  to  the  striking  pictures  of  social  and  domestic  life  that  compose  a  large 
portion  of  its  contents.  Mr.  Jarves's  exposition  of  the  ceremonies  of  the  Catholic 
Church,  and  their  bearing  on  public  morality,  is  replete  with  instruction,  and  in 
the  existing  state  of  religious  inquiry,  must  be  deemed  seasonable  and  important. 

Parisian  Sights  and  French  Principles 

Seen  through  American  Spectacles.     With  Illustrations.     12mo, 

Muslin,  $1  00. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  graphic  descriptions  of  life  in  the  French  metropolis 
which  has  yet  been  given  by  any  English  or  American  traveler.  The  author 
blends  reflection  and  narrative  in  a  very  effective  manner,  depicting  the  promi- 
nent features  of  French  society  with  a  vivid  pencil,  and  deducing  the  inferences 
suggested  by  his  varied  experience.  Short  of  a  personal  visit  to  the  great  focus  of 
European  fashion,  there  is  no  way  in  which  one  can  obtain  such  a  mass  of  informa- 
tion on  the  subject,  and  in  so  agreeable  a  manner,  as  by  reading  this  lively  volume.

merous Illustrations.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

In  this  new  series  of  kt  Parisian  sights,"  Mr.  Jarves  exhibits  the  same  power 
of  humorous  and  graphic  description  which  made  his  former  volume  one  of  the 
most  entertaining  books  of  modern  travel.  With  great  boldness  and  freedom 
of  touch,  though  with  entire  propriety  of  delineation,  he  sketches  the  many-col- 
ored phases  of  Parisian  life,  presenting  to  the  curious  observer  of  manners  some 
of  the  most  remarkable  features  in  the  grand  panorama  of  French  society.  Among 
the  series  which  are  here  displayed  in  life-like  reality,  are  the  marriage  cus- 
toms of  Paris,  the  Boulevards  and  the  belles,  the  fashionable  shops,  the  prisons 
and  prisoners,  the  employments  of  the  poor,  the  past  and  present  of  the  streets, 
and  numerous  other  pofnts  of  no  less  attractive  interest.  The  volume  is  illus- 
rated  by  a  profusion  of  characteristic,  and  humorous  engravings.

The  Capture  of  Washington, 

History  of  the  Invasion  and  Capture  of  Washington,  and  of  the 
Events  which  preceded  and  followed  it.  By  J.  S.  WILLIAMS, 
Brigade  Major  and  Inspector,  Columbian  Brigade,  in  the  War  of 
1812.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

A  narrative  of  the  famous  Washington  campaign,  written  with  the  view  of  re- 
moving the  obloquy  which  has  been  cast  upon  the  American  troops  engaged  in 
the  Battle  of  Bladensburg.  The  author  had  made  diligent  use  of  the  copious  ma- 
terials furnished  by  the  Congressional  investigation  of  the  subject,  and  by  per- 
sonal statements  from  those  whose  position  at  the  time  enabled  them  to  obtain 
a  correct  knowledge  of  the  affair.  The  moral  which  he  deduces  from  the  history 
is  favorable  to  the  character  of  the  American  soldiery,  at  the  expense  of  the 
prominent  politicians  of  the  day. 

Rome,  Christian  and  Papal,

of  Theology  in  the  Roman  University,  and  Qualificator  at  the  In- 
quisition. 12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

The  author  of  this  work  is  a  man  of  ability  and  cultivation.  He  was  formerly 
a  Catholic  priest  in  the  city  of  Rome,  and  filled  several  offices  of  importance  and 
trust  in  the  Papal  court.  He  lived  for  twenty-two  years  in  an  establishment 
which  was  in  close  relation  with  the  Jesuits.  For  fifteen  years  he  occupied  the 
confessional.  He  was  commissioned  to  make  official  visits  to  most  of  the  mon- 
asteries in  Rome,  as  preacher  and  confessor.  He  is,  accordingly,  able  to  speak 
with  the  authority  of  actual  experience,  and  not  from  hearsay  or  report.  In  a 
series  of  familiar  letters,  he  here  describes  the  interior  of  the  Church  of  Rome, 
unfolds  the  working  of  its  principal  institution,  and  discusses  the  character  of  its 
doctrines  and  ceremonies.

ecclesiastical  affairs  at  the  epoch  of  the  Revolution  ;  the  connection  of  the  State 
government  with  the  churches;  the  character  of  American  preaching;  revivals 
of  religion  ;  the  organization  and  doctrines  of  the  different  Christian  sects;  and 
the  operations  of  missionary  societies  in  behalf  of  the  heathen.  The  work  is  con- 
structed on  a  unique  plan,  and  embodies  an  amount  of  information  which  is  not 
elsewhere  to  be  found  on  the  subject  within  the  same  compass.  In  connection 
with  its  principal  theme,  it  presents  an  ample  summary  of  facts  relating  to  the 
history,  geography,  statistics,  and  social  condition  of  the  United  States,  which 
possesses  great  interest  for  all  classes  bf  readers,  and  imparts  a  collateral  value  to

Or,  Three  Years'  Residence  in  Washington  Territory.    By  JAMES

The  experience  of  three  years'  residence  on  the  Northwest  Coast,  from  1852  to 
1S55,  has  furnished  the  materials  for  this  important  and  instructive  volume.  It 
is  filled  with  valuable  information  in  regard  to  the  topography,  natural  history, 
social  condition,  customs  and  manners  of  the  natives,  and  many  other  important 
points  of  that  region.  The  narrative  is  diversified  with  numerous  personal  in- 
cidents, sketches  of  frontier  life,  and  animated  descriptive  passages.  Most  of  the 
facts  recorded  in  the  work  are  of  a  novel  character,  although  the  historical  con- 
nection is  preserved  by  appropriate  reference  to  the  statements  of  previous  trav- 
elers. The  style  is  free  from  pretension,  simple  and  impressive,  lively  and  often 
picturesque.

New  Granada; 

Twenty  Months  in  the  Andes.  By  I.  F.  HOLTON.  With  between. 
30  and  40  Illustrations,  Maps,  and  a  copious  Index.  8vo,  Mus- 
lin, $2  00 ;  Half  Calf,  $3  00. 

This  work  is  in  a  narrative  form,  but  embodying  carefully  all  the  geogra- 
phy of  New  Granada,  and  the  most  important  points  in  the  politics  and  history 
of  the  country,  including  the  last  revolution,  which  was  witnessed  by  the  au- 
thor. The  most  important  plants  and  animals  are  noticed,  and  the  Glossary  and 
Index  give  to  the  narrative  all  the  advantages  of  a  treatise.  The  maps  are  far 
in  advance  of  any  on  New  Granada  hitherto  published,  and,  by  the  aid  of  the 
Index  to  them,  give  the  approximate  place  of  every  town  and  hamlet,  however 
small,  in  all  the  nation.  Among  the  engravings  is  one  of  the  Falls  of  Tequen- 
dama,  from  a  daguerreotype.  They  have  never  been  adequately  figured  even

The  Tongue  of  Fire ;

D.D.,  Author  of  "  The  Successful  Merchant."    Portrait.     12mo, 

Muslin,  75  cents. 

Dr.  Arthur  is  regarded  in  Great  Britain  as  one  of  the  most  powerful  and  elo- 
quent preachers  in  the  Wesleyan  connection.  His  reputation  is  hardly  less  in 
this  country,  where  his  piety  and  talents  secured  for  him  thousands  of  friends 
and  admirers  among  all  denominations.  The  present  work  aims  to  exhibit  the 
true  power  of  Christianity,  by  reference  to  the  effects  of  the  effusion  of  the  Holy 
Spirit  on  the  day  of  Pentecost,  contrasting  the  Christian  life  and  ministry  of 
the  present  day  with  those  of  the  primitive  believers ;  it  sets  forth  a  variety  of 
practical  lessons  for  the  warning  and  instruction  of  the  Church.  The  work  is 
marked  by  fervor  of  spirit,  urgency  of  appeal,  and  vigorous  eloquence  of  expres- 
sion.

Currer  Bell's  Novels, 


The  wondrous  power  of  Currer  Bell's  stories  consists  in  their  fiery  insight  into 
the  human  heart,  their  merciless  dissection  of  passion,  and  their  stern  analysis 
of  character  and  motive.  The  style  of  these  productions  possesses  incredible 
force — sometimes  almost  grim  in  its  bare  severity — then  relapsing  into  passages 
of  melting  pathos— always  direct,  natural,  and  effective  in  its  unpretending 
strength.  They  exhibit  the  identity  which  always  belongs  to  works  of  genius 
by  the  same  author,  though  without  the  slightest  approach  to  monotony.  The 
characters  portrayed  by  Currer  Bell  all  have  a  strongly  marked  individuality. 
Once  brought  before  the  imagination,  they  haunt  the  memory  like  a  strange 
dream.  The  sinewy,  muscular  strength  of  her  writings  guarantees  their  perma- 
nent duration,  and  thus  far  they  have  lost  nothing  of  their  intensity  of  interest 
since  the  period  of  their  composition.

Christian  Theism: 

The  Testimony  of  Reason  and  Revelation  to  the  Existence  of  the 
Supreme  Being.  By  ROBERT  ANCHOR  THOMPSON,  M.A.  (The 
First  Burnett  Prize  of  $9000  was  awarded  to  this  Treatise.) 
12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25. 

Mr.  Burnett,  a  merchant  of  Aberdeen,  who  died  in  1784,  left,  besides  numerous 
munificent  bequests  to  local  charities,  a  fund  to  be  expended  at  intervals  of  forty 
years  in  the  shape  of  two  premiums,  inviting  to  the  discussion  of  religious  truth, 
and  especially  to  the  consideration  and  confirmation  of  the  attributes  of  Divine 
Wisdom  and  Goodness. 

The  term  of  the  second  competition  expired  on  January  1st,  1855.  On  the  oc- 
casion two  hundred  and  eight  treatises  were  delivered  to  the  Trustees.  The 
judges  completed  their  labors  in  about  a  year,  and  awarded  the  first  premium 
of  £1800  (about  $9000)  to  the  Rev.  R.  A.  Thompson,  A.M.,  of  Lincolnshire.

Muslin,  $1  00. 

Most  persons  know  that  the  Council  of  Trent  was  a  product  of  the  Reforma- 
tion, but  comparatively  few,  we  suspect,  know  much  about  its  history.  Those 
who  wish  to  know  (and  it  is  a  matter  worth  knowing)  will  find  ample  means  of 
information  in  this  volume.  *  *  *  He  (the  author)  is  clear  in  statement,  subtle 
and  consecutive  in  his  logic,  and  steers  as  far  from  dullness  as  from  sourness. —

Mexico :  Its  Peasants  and  its  Priests ; 

Or,  Adventures  and  Historical  Kesearches  in  Mexico  and  its  Sil- 
ver Mines  during  parts  of  the  Years  1851-52-53-54,  with  an  Ex- 
pose of  the  Fabulous  Character  of  the  Story  of  the  Conquest  of 
Mexico  by  Cortez.  By  ROBERT  A.  WILSON,  late  Judge  of  Sacra- 
mento District,  California.  With  Engravings.  A  New  Edition. 
12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

This  is  the  work  of  a  man  of  careful  observation,  keen  insight,  and  vigorous 
reasoning  powers.  As  a  sketch  of  the  Mexico  of  the  present  day  it  is  unsurpass- 
ed, and,  so  far  as  we  know,  unapproached.  As  'an  exponent  of  the  political,  so- 
cial, and  religious  horoscope  of  the  Mexican  people,  the  writer  commands  our 
assured  confidence.  As  an  historical  critic  he  is  bold  and  searching,  and  in  the 
collation  of  testimonies  with  one  another  and  with  circumstantial  evidences,|he 
reminds  us  of  the  scientific  scepticism  of  Niebuhr.  He  certainly  demonstrates 
Cortez  to  have  been  as  much  of  a  braggart  as  a  ruffian,  and,  by  adroit  cross-ex- 
amination, convicts  Bernal  Diaz  of  gross  mendacity.  He  shows  little  favor  to 
Romanism,  and  Is  by  no  means  slow  in  ascribing  the  depressed  condition  and 
retrograde  tendencies  of  Mexican  affairs  to  the  agency  of  this  baptized  polytheism. 
We  can  not  here  accuse  him  of  prejudice.  His  conclusions  have  their  more  than 
ample  basis  of  observed  and  unquestionable  fact.— Korth  American  Revieiv. 

Uncle  John; 

Or,  "  It  is  too  much  Trouble."    By  MARY  ORME.     18mo,  Muslin, 

38  cents. 

The  plot  of  this  story  is  simple,  and  the  incidents  belong  to  the  region  of  fact 
rather  than  of  fancy ;  but  the  truthfulness  of  its  description,  its  masterly  deline- 
ations of  character,  and  the  liveliness  of  its  style,  render  it  highly  piquant  and 
agreeable,  while  the  clearness  with  which  it  inculcates  certain  weighty  truths, 
must  commend  it  to  the  attention  of  all  who  desire  the  infusion  of  a  truer  spirit 
into  the  details  of  every-day  life. 

Miss  Bunkley's  Book. 

The  Testimony  of  an  Escaped  Novice  from  the  Sisterhood  of  St. 
Joseph,  Emmettsburg,  Maryland,  the  Mother  House  of  the  Sis- 
ters of  Charity  in  the  United  States.  By  JOSEPHINE  M.  BUNK- 
LEY.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

This  is  the  history  of  the  Escaped  Novice  from  the  Sisterhood  of  St.  Joseph. 
In  a  well-executed,  readable,  and  interesting  narrative,  it  gives  an  account  of 
the  early  history  of  the  writer,  her  conversion  from  Episcopacy  to  Catholicism, 
her  experience  in  the  Church  and  Convent,  and  a  graphic  and  minute  descrip- 
tion of  life  in  the  interior  of  that  institution.  The  book  will  be  read  with  eager 
avidity  by  all  American  citizens.  It  purports  to  set  before  the  world,  in  a  clear 
and  authentic  manner,  the  true  nature  of  convent  life  in  the  most  popular  of  all 
the  female  "communities"  of  the  Roman  Catholic  Organization,  without,  how- 
ever, having  the  character  of  a  scandalous  chronicle.

Mountains  and  Molehills; 

Or,  Recollections  of  a  Burnt  Journal.     By  FRANK  MARRYAT. 

With  numerous  Illustrations  by  the  Author.   12mo,  Muslin,  $1  25. 

The  author  of  this  work — a  son  of  the  celebrated  novelist,  spent  nearly  two 
years  in  California.  He  gives  an  entertaining  account  of  his  experience  as  a 
hunter  and  squatter  among  the  mountains,  and  of  his  various  unsuccessful  at- 
tempts to  make  a  fortune  in  addition  to  his  former  adequate  estate.  In  spite 
of  the  ill  success  of  his  own  speculations,  the  tone  of  the  book  is  good-humored 
and  hopeful.  His  book,  with  its  characteristic  illustrations,  is  by  far  the  most 
racy  work  which  has  yet  appeared  upon  California.  It  derives  additional  ad- 
vantage from  its  clever  pictures  of  life  among  the  Mexican  Caballeros. 

History  of  Sandford  and  Merton, 

By  THOMAS  DAY.     18mo,  Half  Bound,  38  cents. 

This  well-known  and  popular  work  has  been  read  by  many  a  boy  with  delight 
and  instruction,  and  will  continue  to  communicate  equal  delight  to  those  that 
are  to  follow.  It  was  the  object  of  the  author  to  convey  to  the  youthful  mind 
such  useful  impressions  as  were  calculated  to  promote  the  formation  of  a  gener- 
ous, a  contented,  and  a  manly  character;  and  it  is  even  more  adapted  to  the  state 
of  society  at  present  than  it  was  at  the  period  when  it  was  written. 

Le  Cure  Manque; 

Or,  Social  and  Religious  Customs  in  France.    By  EUGENE  DE 

COURCILLON.     12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

The  autobiography  of  a  young  French  peasant,  who  was  trained  for  the  Church. 
Its  specific  purpose  is  to  give  an  account  of  the  social  and  rural  life  and  super- 
stitions of  the  peasants  of  Normandy,  and  to  show  the  relations  existing  between 
them  and  their  priests.  The  author  also  describes,  in  a  very  interesting  manner, 
the  routine  and  customs  of  the  French  ecclesiastical  seminaries.

44  A  most  delightful  and  comprehensive  work.  Judicious  in  selection,  intelli- 
gible in  arrangement,  and  graceful  in  style,  these  attractive  volumes  well  deserve 
the  pains  bestowed  on  their  completion  by  their  accomplished  author.  The  Life

they  are  of  the  most  remarkable  and  exciting  character.  The  work  has  passed

The  Young  Crusoe; 

Or,  the  Shipwrecked  Boy.     Containing  an  Account  of  his  Ship- 
wreck, and  of  his  Residence  alone  upon  an  uninhabited  Island. 
By  Mrs.  HOFLAND.     Engravings.     18mo,  Muslin,  31  cents. 
In  this  delightful  story  the  design  of  the  author  has  been  to  display  the  never- 
failing  goodness  of  God  in  his  providence,  even  under  the  heaviest  misfortunes ; 
and  to  show  that  there  is  no  situation,  however  deplorable,  in  which  a  person  can 
not,  by  the  exercise  of  fortitude,  ingenuity,  and  perseverance,  increase  the  com- 
forts and  lighten  the  evils  of  his  condition.

plied, and  turning  to  ruin,  and  the  same  genius  supported  by  sound  moral  prin- 
ciple, strengthened  by  judicious  exercise  and  continuous  effort,  useful  and  tri- 
umphant.

The  above  work  embraces  a  class  of  subjects  in  which  every  individual  is  in- 
terested, and  with  which  he  should  become  acquainted.  They  challenge  atten- 
tention  in  this  country  especially,  a  great  proportion  of  the  community  being 
engaged  in  some  of  the  professional  or  mechanical  departments  of  business  as  a 
means  of  subsistence  or  distinction.  It  is  a  work  eminently  suited  for  the  peru- 
sal of  youth.

Hilliard's  Speeches  and  Addresses, 

Speeches   and  Addresses.    By  the  Hon,  HENRY  W.  HILLIARD. 

8vo,  Muslin,  $1  75. 

The  greater  portion  of  this  volume  consists  of  speeches  delivered  in  the  United 
States  House  of  Representatives,  of  which  the  author  was  a  member  during  a 
most  critical  and  eventful  period.  They  are  devoted  to  the  discussion  of  the 
most  important  questions  which  have  ever  agitated  the  country  ;  prominent 
among  which  are  the  sub-treasury  scheme,  the  Mexican  war,  the  peace  which 
concluded  this  war,  the  form  of  government  to  be  adopted  for  the  newly-acquired 
territory,  and  the  political  aspects  of  the  question  of  slavery.  These  are  discuss- 
ed in  the  light  of  principles  of  universal  application,  rather  than  on  mere  tempo- 
rary and  party  grounds.  Mr.  Hilliard  takes  throughout  high  Southern  views ; 
but,  however  widely  many  readers  may  differ  from  him  in  sentiment  and  prin- 
ciple, no  one  can  fail  to  recognize  the  dignified  and  courteous  manner  in  which 
the  discussion  is  conducted,  and  the  profusion  and  aptness  of  the  historical  allu- 
sions with  which  the  author's  view  is  elucidated  and  enforced.  The  addresses 
of  a  literary  character  which  are  appended  show  that,  in  entering  the  stormy 
arena  of  political  life,  Mr.  Hilliard  has  not  neglected  the  pursuits  of  the  accom- 
plished scholar  and  thougtitful  philosopher.

Abbott's  Napoleon  Bonaparte, 

The  History  of  Napoleon  Bonaparte.  By  JOHN  S.  C.  ABBOTT.

lin, $5  00 ;  Sheep,  $5  75  ;  Half  Calf,  $7  00. 

The  Memoir  of  Napoleon,  which  attracted  such  universal  attention  as  it  ap- 
peared in  the  pages  of  Harper's  Magazine,  is  reproduced,  with  the  original  illus- 
trations, in  these  two  handsome  volumes,  including  copious  additions,  and  a  care- 
ful revision  by  the  author.  In  this  important  contribution  to  the  biography  of 
one  of  the  most  prominent  historical  characters  of  modern  times,  Mr.  Abbott  has 
taken  an  independent  point  of  view,  made  himself  master  of  the  subject  by  as- 
siduous personal  research,  and,  refusing  to  yield  to  the  influence  of  early  impres- 
sions and  foreign  traditions,  has  presented  an  estimate  of  the  illustrious  man  to 
whom  he  has  devoted  his  studies  which  can  not  fail  to  soften  prejudices,  remove 
misapprehensions,  and  purify  and  exalt  the  fame  of  Napoleon  in  the  eyes  of  all 
impartial  and  intelligent  readers. 

Napoleon  at  St,  Helena,

lected from  the  Memorials  of  Las  Casas,  O'Meara,  Montholon,

lustrations.    8vo,  Muslin,  $2  50 ;  Sheep,  $2  88 ;  Half  Calf,  $3  50. 
The  author  of  this  volume  performs  mainly  but  the  unambitious  task  of  com- 
pilation.    He  desires  to  take  the  reader  to  St.  Helena,  and  to  introduce  him  to 
the  humble  apartment  of  the  Emperor.     He  would  give  him  a  seat  in  the  arm- 
chair, by  the  side  of  the  illustrious  sufferer  reclining  upon  the  sofa,  or  lead  him 
to  accompany  the  Emperor  in  his  walk  among  the  blackened  rocks,  and  thus  to 
listen  to  the  glowing  utterances  of  the  imperial  sage.     The  literature  of  our  lan- 
guage affords  no  richer  intellectual  treat  than  the  conversations  of  Napoleon. 
Hitherto  widely  scattered  in  many  volumes,  and  buried  in  the  midst  of  a  multi- 
plicity of  details  of  but  transient  interest,  they  have  been  inaccessible  to  the  mass 
of  readers.     By  presenting  them  in  one  volume,  they  are  within  the  reach  of  all 
who  can  appreciate  the  eloquence  of  word  and  thought. — Extract  from  Author's

gravings. 16mo,  Muslin,  60  cents. 

This  book  treats  of  the  important  questions  of  maternal  responsibility  and  au- 
thority; of  the  difficulties  which  the  mother  will  experience,  the  errors  to  which 
she  is  liable,  the  methods  and  plans  she  should  adopt ;  of  the  religious  instruc- 
tion which  she  should  impart,  and  of  the  results  which  she  may  reasonably  hope 
will  follow  her  faithful  and  persevering  exertions.  These  subjects  are  illustrated 
with  the  felicity  characteristic  of  all  the  productions  of  the  author.

lin, 60  cents. 

The  duties  and  trials  peculiar  to  the  child  are  explained  and  illustrated  in  this 
volume  in  the  same  clear  and  attractive  manner  in  which  those  of  the  mother 
are  set  forth  in  the  "  Mother  at  Home."  These  two  works  may  be  considered  as 
forming  a  complete  manual  of  filial  and  maternal  relations.

The  present  edition  of  Abbott's  Young  Christian  Series  is  issued  in  a  style  of 
uncommon  neatness,  and  is  illustrated  with  numerous  spirited  and  beautiful  en- 
gravings. It  is  superfluous  to  speak  of  the  rare  merits  of  Mr.  Abbott's  writings 
on  the  subject  of  practical  religion.  Their  extensive  circulation,  not  only  in  our 
own  country,  but  in  England,  Scotland,  Ireland,  France,  Germany,  Holland,  In- 
dia, and  at  various  missionary  stations  throughout  the  globe,  evinces  the  excel- 
lence of  their  plan,  and  the  felicity  with  which  it  has  been  executed.  In  unfold- 
ing the  different  topics  which  he  takes  in  hand,  Mr.  Abbott  reasons  clearly,  con- 
cisely, and  to  the  point ;  but  the  severity  of  the  argument  is  always  relieved  by  a 
singular  variety  and  beauty  of  illustration.  It  is  this  admirable  combination  of 
discussion  with  incident  that  invests  his  writings  with  an  almost  equal  charm 
for  readers  of  every  diversity  of  age  and  culture.

A  book  intended  to  detail,  in  a  familiar  and  practical  manner,  a  system  of  ar-

ployment, as  far  as  is  practicable,  of  Moral  Influences  as  a  means  of  effecting  the 
objects  in  view.  Its  design  is  not  to  bring  forward  now  theories  or  new  plans, 
but  to  develop  and  explain,  and  to  carry  out  to  their  practical  applications  such 
principles  as,  among  all  skillful  and  experienced  teachers,  are  generally  admit- 
ted and  acted  upon.

A  series  of  volumes  containing  severally  full  atecounts  of  the  lives,  characters, 
and  exploits  of  the  most  distinguished  sovereigns,  potentates,  and  rulers  that 
have  been  chiefly  renowned  among  mankind,  in  the  various  ages  of  the  world, 
from  the  earliest  periods  to  the  piesent  day. 

The  successive  volumes  of  the  series,  though  they  each  contain  the  life  of  a 
single  individual,  and  constitute  thus  a  distinct  and  independent  work,  follow 
each  other  in  the  main,  in  regular  historical  order,  and  each  one  continues  the 
general  narrative  of  history  down  to  the  period  at  which  the  next  volume  takes 
up  the  story ;  so  that  the  whole  series  will,  when  completed,  present  to  the  read- 
er a  connected  narrative  of  the  line  of  general  history  from  the  present  age  back 
to  the  remotest  times. 

The  narratives  are  intended  to  be  succinct  and  comprehensive,  and  are  written 
in  a  very  plain  and  simple  style.  They  are,  however,  not  juvenile  in  their  char- 
acter, nor  intended  exclusively  for  the  young.  The  volumes  are  sufficiently 
large  to  allowr  each  history  to  comprise  all  the  leading  facts  in  the  life  of  the  per- 
sonage who  is  the  subject  of  it,  and  thus  to  communicate  all  the  information  in 
respect  to  him  which  is  necessary  for  the  purposes  of  the  general  reader. 

Such  being  the  design  and  character  of  the  works,  they  would  seem  to  be  spe- 
cially adapted,  not  only  for  family  reading,  but  also  for  district,  town,  school, 
and  Sunday-school  libraries,  as  well  as  for  text-books  in  literary  seminaries. 

The  volumes  already  issued  have  had  a  wide  circulation  in  all  parts  of  the 
country — more  than  two  hundred  thousand  volumes  having  been  already  sold. 
The  plan  of  the  series,  and  the  manner  in  which  the  design  has  been  carried  out 
by  the  author  in  the  execution  of  it,  have  been  highly  commended  by  the  press 
in  all  parts  of  the  country.  The  whole  series  has  been  introduced  into  the 
school  libraries  of  several  of  the  .largest  and  most  influential  states.

Abbott's  Marco  Paul  Series, 

Marco  Paul's  Voyages  and  Travels  in  the  Pursuit  of  Knowledge. 
By  JACOB  ABBOTT.  Beautifully  Illustrated.  Complete  in  6  vols. 
16mo,  Muslin,  50  cents  each.  The  Volumes  may  be  obtained  sep- 
arately. 

In  New  York.  In  Vermont. 

On  the  Erie  Canal.  In  Boston. 

In  the  Forests  of  Maine.  At  the  Springfield  Armory. 

The  design  of  these  volumes  is  not  simply  to  present  a  narrative  of  juvenile 
adventures,  but  also  to  communicate,  in  connection  with  them,  a  knowledge  of 
the  geography,  scenery,  and  customs  of  the  sections  of  country  over  which  the 
young  traveler  is  conducted.  Marco  Paul  makes  his  journeyings  under  the  guid- 
ance of  a  well-informed  tutor,  who  takes  care  to  give  him  all  the  information  of 
which  he  needs.  The  narrative  is  rendered  still  further  attractive  by  the  in- 
troduction of  personal  incidents  which  would  naturally  befall  the  actors  of  the 
story.  No  American  child  can  read  this  series  without  delight  and  instruc- 
tion. But  it  will  not  be  confined  to  the  juvenile  library.  Presenting  a  vivid 
commentary  on  American  society,  manners,  scenery,  and  institutions,  it  has  a 
powerful  charm  for  readers  of  all  ages.

The  style  is  beautifully  simple,  and  the  narrative  is  interspersed  with  com- 
ments and  reflections  remarkable  for  their  devout  spirit,  and  for  the  clearness 
with  which  they  elucidate  whatever  might  appear  to  the  mind  either  contradict- 
ory or  unintelligible.  It  is  impossible  for  any  child  to  read  these  affecting  his- 
tories without  becoming  interested  ;  and  the  interest  is  so  directed  and  improved 
as  to  implant  and  foster  the  purest  principles  of  religion  and  morality.

The  author  glances  at  some  interesting  portions  of  Natural  History,  but  the 
prominent  object  is  so  strikingly  to  contrast  selfishness  and  ingratitude  with  dis- 
interestedness and  its  attendant  virtues,  as  to  force  us  to  abhor  the  deformity 
of  the  one,  and  urge  us  forward  in  the  pursuit  of  the  other.

JAMES  MURDOCK,  D.D.    8vo,  Muslin,  $1  50. 

A  work  evincing  great  research,  and  exhibiting  profound  knowledge  of  the 
subject;  it  breathes  a  spirit  of  tolerance  and  conciliation  which  are  the  charac- 
teristics of  true  Christianity.  The  author's  narratives  are  often  brilliant  and 
impressive,  and  his  researches  are,  la  many  instances,  marked  by  great  acute- 
ness  and  originality.

This  work  is  written  in  a  very  interesting  manner,  in  a  more  philosophical 
spirit,  and  with  more  depth  of  reflection  than  is  generally  found  in  histories  of 
this  nature.  It  is  not  wanting  in  historical  condensation,  and  the  coloring  of  the 
style  is  lively  and  picturesque.  It  is  the  most  complete  and  compact  Jewish  his- 
tory extant.

Mary  Barton, 

A  Tale  of  Manchester  Life.     By  Mrs.  GASKELL.     8vo,  Paper, 

25  cents. 

Excellent  in  the  anatomy  of  feelings  and  motives,  in  the  display  of  character, 
in  the  life-like  and  simple  use  of  dialogue ;  and  the  result  is  a  painful  interest 
very  rare  in  our  experience. — Athenaeum. 

The  author  of  "Mary  Barton"  will  not  have  long  to  wait  for  his  or  her  due 
honor  from  the  world.  This  is  the  sort  of  book  which  has  long  been  wanted, 
and  whether  sent  forth  by  a  well-known  or  unknown  author,  it  is  equally  sure 
of  commanding  attention.  Gladly  do  we  hail  the  advent  of  a  true  genius,  who 
can  interpret  faithfully  between  the  operatives  and  the  masters — between  the  low 
and  the  high— between  the  starving  and  the  well  fed.  The  author  has  all  the 
requisites  for  becoming  one  of  the  most  powerful  friends  of  the  poor  in  this  coun- 
try.— JerrolcTs  Paper.

of  such  blended  sweetness  and  strength  as  the  author  of  Mary  Barton." 

North  and  South, 

A  Novel.     By  the  Author  of  "Mary  Barton. »    8vo,  Paper,  37£

"Equally  remarkable  with  '  Mary  Barton'  for  its  keen  perception  of  character 
and  motives,  its  fine  touches  of  humanity,  its  comprehensive  and  genial  sympa- 
thies, and  the  combined  terseness  and  grace  of  its  style.  The  incidents  are 
drawn  from  the  common  social  life  of  England,  and  are  described  with  such  ex- 
quisite naturalness  as  to  produce  an  ineffaceable  impression  of  reality.  Such  a 
succession  of  vivid,  home-like  scenes  as  form  the  substance  of  this  volume  is 
rarely  enjoyed  in  works  of  fiction,  and  they  derive  an  additional  charm  from  the 
unaffected  expressive  diction  in  which  the  narrative  is  clothed." 

Cranford,

Devoted  to  the  illustration  of  social  and  domestic  life  in  an  English  country

Montgomery,  after  alleging  that  "Summerfield  was  a  fervent,  fearless,  and 
self-sacrificing  preacher,  the  delight  of  wondering,  weeping,  and  admiring  au- 
diences wherever  he  went,"  adds,  "  on  reading  his  manuscript  sermons,  in  one 
main  point  I  was  disappointed.  The  Sermons  of  Summerfield  are  less  calculated 
for  instantaneous  effect  than  for  abiding  usefulness"  They  are  peculiarly  char- 
acterized by  elegance,  originality,  Scriptural  phraseology,  and  the  holy,  melt- 
ing, persuasive  eloquence  of  "  words  that  breathe  and  thoughts  that  burn."  By 
powerful  arguments  they  convince  the  judgment,  and  by  fervent  appeals  to  the 
conscience  arouse  the  heart.

Page's  La  Plata. 

La  Plata :  The  Argentine  Confederation,  and  Paraguay.  Being 
a  Narrative  of  the  Exploration  of  the  Tributaries  of  the  River  La 
Plata  and  Adjacent  Countries,  during  the  Years  1853,  '54,  '55, 
and  '56,  under  the  orders  of  the  United  States  Government.  By 
THOMAS  J.  PAGE,  U.S.N.,  Commander  of  the  Expedition.  With 
Map  and  numerous  Engravings.  8vo,  Muslin,  $3  00;  Half  Calf, 
$400. 

This  volume  contains  the  Official  Narrative  of  one  of  the  most  important  Ex- 
peditions  ever  sent  out  by  our  Government.  The  vast  region  drained  by  the 
River  La  Plata  and  its  tributaries  was  closed  to  commerce  and  navigation  by  the 
rigid  Colonial  Laws  of  Spain,  the  civil  wars  which  followed  the  Independence, 
and  the  subsequent  selfish  policy  of  Rosas,  the  tyrant  of  Buenos  Ayres.  After 
the  defeat  and  flight  of  Rosas,  one  of  the  first  acts  of  Urquiza,  the  able  and  en- 
lightened Director  of  the  Argentine  Confederation,  was  the  decree  of  August  28, 
1852,  declaring  the  waters  of  the  Confederation  free  to  the  flags  of  all  nations. 
Our  Government  was  the  first  to  avail  itself  of  this  decree.  Early  in  1853  the 
steamer  Water  Witch  was  placed  under  the  command  of  Lieutenant  PAGE,  with 
instructions  to  explore  the  Rivers  of  La  Plata,  and  report  upon  their  navigabili- 
ty and  adaptation  to  commerce.  Lieutenant  PAGE  executed  his  commission  with 
rare  fidelity  and  intelligence,  and  has  embodied  the  results  in  this  volume.  The 
explorations  described  in  the  narrative  embrace  an  extent  of  3600  miles  of  river 
navigation,  and  4400  miles  of  journey  by  land  in  Paraguay  and  the  Argentine 
Confederation.  The  River  Paraguay  alone  was  found  to  be  navigable,  at  low 
water,  by  a  steamer  drawing  nine  feet,  for  more  than  2000  miles  from  the  ocean. 
The  basin  of  La  Plata  is  almost  equal  in  extent  to  that  of  the  Mississippi,  and  not 
inferior  in  salubrity  of  climate  and  fertility  of  soil,  while  the  head  waters  of  its 
rivers  penetrate  the  richest  mineral  provinces  of  Brazil  and  Bolivia.  The  pro- 
ducts of  this  region  must  find  their  outlet  through  the  River  La  Plata.  The 
population  numbers  scarcely  one  person  to  a  square  mile,  but  great  inducements 
to  emigration  are  now  offered  by  the  Argentine  Confederation.  The  commerce 
of  the  country,  already  considerable,  is  capable  of  immediate  and  almost  indefi- 
nite increase.  Lieutenant  PAGE'S  Narrative  contains  ample  information  respect- 
ing the  soil,  climate,  and  productions  of  the  country,  and  the  manners,  habits, 
and  customs  of  the  people.  An  interesting  and  valuable  account  of  the  Jesuit 
Missions  in  La  Plata  is  appended  to  the  Narrative.  The  Illustrations  comprise 
the  accurate  Map  of  the  Country  prepared  by  the  orders  of  our  Government, 
Portraits  of  Urquiza,  Lopez,  Francia,  and  Loyola,  and  numerous  Engravings  of 
Scenery,  Character,  and  Incident.

A  very  spirited  and  powerful  story,  by  an  American  lady.  The  scene  is  laid

human  nature  in  general.

Tales  from  the  Operas, 

The  Incidents  of  each  Opera  are  related  in  a  graphic  and  pleas- 
ing style,  while  preserving  the  force  and  spirit  of  the  Original. 
Edited  by  GEORGE  FREDERICK  PARDON.  12mo,  Muslin. 
The  usefulness  of  this  book,  apart  from  the  interest  of  the  narratives,  will  at 
once  commend  itself  to  every  reader.  To  those  who  frequent  the  Opera  it  is  in- 
valuable, and  to  those  who  speak  and  hear  of  it  only,  it  is  indispensable.  The 
main  incidents  of  the  most  celebrated  Lyric  Dramas  are  embodied  in  this  work, 
the  periods  of  history  to  which  they  refer  are  illustrated,  the  principal  characters 
delineated,  the  plots  unravelled,  and  the  genius  and  spirit  of  each  Opera  care- 
fully and  lucidly  brought  out.  How  few  who  visit  the  Opera  House  understand 
the  nature  and  particulars  of  that  which  is  being  enacted  ?  and  how  few  partic- 
ipate in  the  beauty  and  comprehensiveness  of  the  music?  In  this  book  we  can 
once  more  listen  with  rapt  attention  to  the  stirring  tales  of  the  Huguenots ;  re- 
joice with  Massaniello  and  William  Tell ;  weep  with  Norma  and  Desdemona  ; 
shudder  at  the  crimes  of  Lucrezia  Borgia;  laugh  at  the  miseries  and  perplexities 
of  Don  Pasquale :  make  merry  with  the  Barber  of  Seville ;  be  melted  at  the  woes 
of  La  Traviata,  or  sit  spell-bound  and  watch  the  Somnambulist  crossing  the 
creaking  bridge.  In  a  word,  how  few  can  intelligently  enjoy  and  appreciate 
these  master-pieces  of  dramatic  and  lyric  art  without  an  accurate  and  succinct 
knowledge  of  the  narratives  on  which  they  are  founded  ?  To  provide  this  knowl- 
edge is  the  object  of  the  present  volume. 


The  Laird  of  Norlaw, 

A  Scottish  Story.     By  Mrs.  OLIPHANT.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

The  author  is  one  of  the  most  truthful  delineators  of  domestic  life.  The  first 
perusal  of  her  books  insures  a  second,  and  often  a  third  reading,  and,  like  the 
novels  of  Sir  Walter  Scott,  the  more  frequently  they  are  reverted  to,  the  greater 
the  pleasure.  We  have  very  little  doubt  that  the  same  marks  of  permanent  fa- 
vor which  yet  abide  by  the  tales  of  Miss  Edgeworth  and  Miss  Austen,  and  the 
novels  of  Scott  and  Bulwer,  are  in  store  for  this  gifted  lady's  agreeable  works  of 
fiction.  —Messenger.

More  About  Jesus. 

With  Illustrations  and  a  Map.     By  the  Author  of  "Peep  of  Day," 

"  Reading  without  Tears,"  &c.     16mo,  Muslin. 

•'  Tell  me  more  about  Jesus,"  is  the  request  that  would  more  frequently  be 
heard  if  parents  and  teachers  would  take  the  pains  to  make  what  they  tell  the 
children  interesting ;  and  this  may  easily  be  done  by  means  of  the  many  appli- 
ances within  reach.  A  map  of  the  Holy  Land,  and  a  plan  of  Jerusalem,  with  a 
few  prints,  will  always  enable  the  intelligent  senior  to  make  his  or  her  Scripture 
lesson  agreeable  to  the  juniors.  The  author  of  this  little  book  has  already  shown 
her  aptitude  for  the  work  in  her  "  Peep  of  Day,"  and  other  publications,  but  in 
none  more  prominently  than  in  this.  It  consists  of  a  series  of  stories,  of  about 
two  pages  long,  embracing  the  whole  of  the  events  in  the  life  of  our  blessed  Lord, 
told  in  a  plain,  simple  style,  suited  to  the  capacities  of  children  of  seven  or  eight 
years  of  age.  But  better  still,  all  good  children's  books  are  good  for  adults ;  and 
this  will  be  found  equally  useful  to  put  into  the  hands  of  very  ignorant  grown- 
up people,  who  may  from  this  learn  the  story  of  man's  redemption  in  an  intelli- 
gent manner.  Many  of  the  lessons  are  illustrated  with  cuts  of  the  places  men- 
tioned.

It  contains  a  picture  for  every  word  of  spelling  capable  of  pictorial  explanation. 
The  reading  lessons  have  been  carefully  selected,  being  composed  of  the  prece- 
ding spelling  lessons,  by  which  means,  together  with  the  picture  meanings,  the 
words  are  easily  impressed  on  the  memory  of  a  very  young  child.— -London  Ath-

Ellis's  Madagascar, 

Three  Visits  to  Madagascar,  during  the  Years  1853-1854-1856. 
Including  a  Journey  to  the  Capital,  with  Notices  of  the  Natural 
History  of  the  Country  and  of  the  Present  Civilization  of  the  Peo- 
ple. By  the  Rev.  WILLIAM  ELLIS,  F.H.S.,  Author  of  "Polyne- 
sian Researches."  Illustrated  by  a  Map  and  Wood- cuts  from 
Photographs,  &c.  8vo,  Muslin. 

Mr.  Ellis  is  a  zealous  missionary — an  active,  intelligent,  resolute,  handy,  ob- 
servant, and  well-informed  man — and  a  lively,  interesting,  unaffected  writer.  In 
this  handsome  volume  he  gives  us  a  very  minute  account  of  three  several  visits 
which  he  paid  within  the  last  five  years  to  the  little  known  but  very  remarkable 
island  of  Madagascar.  He  took  with  him  a  camera,  and  his  book  is  illustrated 
by  a  number  of  portraits  and  views  of  scenery  of  whose  accuracy  we  are  assured 
by  their  having  been  photographed  on  the  spot.  Mr.  Ellis  was  accustomed  to  keep 
a  journal,  in  which  he  noted  down  every  evening  the  events  of  the  day;  and 
that  journal,  transmitted  to  England  in  the  form  of  letters,  furnished  the  mate- 
rials for  the  present  volume.  It  is  a  readable  book.  It  takes  us  into  untrodden 
fields ;  and  its  style  is  characterized  by  truthfulness,  simplicity,  and  a  pleasing 
but  perfectly  unobtrusive  earnestness. 

The  questions  opened  out  by  this  book  are  of  such  public  interest  at  present 
that  we  can  not  err  in  predicting  for  it  a  success  scarcely  second  to  Dr.  Living- 
stone's u  Journal."  We  commend  our  readers,  architectural,  botanical,  political, 
or  theological,  to  this  excellent  book. — London  Athenaeum.

Muller's  History  of  Greek  Literature, 

A  History  of  the  Literature  of  Ancient  Greece.    By  K.  O.  Mtix- 
LER,  late  Professor  in  the  University  of  Gottingen.     Continued 
after  the  Author's  Death  by  JOHN  WILLIAM  DONALDSON,  D.D., 
Classical  Examiner  in  the  University  of  London,  and  late  Fel- 
low of  Trinity  College,  Cambridge.     8vo,  Muslin.     (In  Press.) 
This  work,  originally  undertaken  at  the  request  of  the  Society  for  the  Diffu- 
sion of  Useful  Knowledge,  was  written  with  a  view  to  its  appearance  in  an  En- 
glish form  only,  and  left  incomplete  by  the  death  of  its  Author  in  1840.     The 
Society  had  arranged  that  Dr.  Donaldson,  who  had  translated  the  latter  half  of 
the  work,  should  complete  it  according  to  the  plan  proposed  by  Professor  Miil- 
ler;  and  the  present  publishers  have  resumed  the  undertaking  in  the  hope  of 
placing  within  the  reach  of  classical  students  a  complete  but  convenient  Manual 
of  Greek  Literary  History.     The  book  comprises  Chronological  Tables,  Indices, 
some  Supplementary  Notes,  and  a  Memoir  and  Portrait  of  the  Author.

Rev.  GEORGE  PECK,  D.D.  Beautifully  Illustrated.  12mo,  Mus- 
lin, f  1  25. 

A  clear  and  complete  narrative  of  the  early  settlement  of  Wyoming,  the  massacre 
of  its  inhabitants,  and  the  principal  incidents  in  the  lives  of  the  survivors.  Almost 
every  chapter  has  in  it  the  groundwork  of  an  historical  novel.  There  is  no  class  of 
readers  who  will  not  peruse  it  with  pleasure.  The  work  is  rendered  still  more  in- 
teresting by  a  variety  of  pictorial  illustrations,  comprising  some  artistic  sketches. 

Dr,  Thome. 

A  Novel.    By  ANTHONY  TROLLOPE.    Author   of  "Barchester 

Towers,"  &c.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

Mr.  Trollope  has  a  real  sense  of  fun — a  thing  not  common  in  these  days.  We 
can  promise  a  hearty  laugh  to  all  who  undertake  "  Doctor  Thorne" — a  laugh 
that  does  good  to  the  laugher,  not  cynical  and  cruel,  but  hearty  and  sympathet- 
ic, and  there  are  so  few  books  now-a-days  that  make  us  laugh.  There  is  genu- 
ine humor  in  "  Doctor  Thorne,"  not  strained  or  ambitiously  displayed,  but  arising 
from  the  natural  play  of  the  characters.  The  characters  are  real  creatures  of  hu- 
man nature,  flesh  and  blood,  vigorously  and  broadly  drawn,  bnt  not  caricatured. 

We  are  prepared  to  name  him  (the  author  of  Doctor  Thorne)  among  the  illus- 
trious living  writers  of  fiction.  *  *  In  Doctor  Thorne  the  handling  is  broad  and 
powerful,  but  sure,  and  under  strong  restraint ;  every  touch  tells,  because  every 
touch  is  the  result  of  thought  and  feeling,  subdued  with  rare  technical  skill.  *  * 
The  author's  broad  and  vigorous  portraiture,  his  keen  insight  into  character, 
his  subtle  and  penetrating  observation,  embrace  too  widely  and  pierce  too  deeply 
into  the  society  around  him  not  to  give  to  all  he  writes  the  strength  and  consist- 
ency of  a  purpose ;  and  we  cheerfully  add  that  his  purpose  seems  to  us  to  be  un- 
exceptionable in  its  courageous  independence  and  brave  humanity. — The  Leader. 

Memoirs  of  Rachel, 

By  Madame  De  B .     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

"  A  volume  full  of  spicy  gossip  and  anecdote  of  the  great  Hebrew  tragedienne. 
The  authoress  follows  her  subject  minutely,  through  the  many  eventful  phases 
of  her  career ;  recounting  with  French  liveliness  and  spirit  all  those  accidents 
and  incidents  which  made  up  Rachel's  strange  and  contradictoiy  character.  She 
gives,  besides,  a  most  interesting  account  of  the  French  theatrical  world,  its  man- 
agement by  the  government,  and  of  that  life  behind  the  green  curtain  in  France, 
of  which  Rachel  was  so  long  the  centre."  >

Self-Made  Men, 

By  CHARLES  C.  B.  SEYMOUR.  Many  Portraits.  12mo,  588  pp., 
Muslin,  f  1  25  ;  Muslin,  gilt  edges,  $1  40;  Half  Calf,  $2  10. 
The  author  includes  in  this  volume  not  only  those  individuals  who  have  risen 
to  scientific  or  social  eminence  without  the  usual  appliances  of  education,  but  a 
great  variety  of  men  who,  though  favored  with  the  usual  advantages  of  literary 
culture,  have  carved  out  their  way  to  usefulness  and  renown  in  the  midst  of  for- 
midable obstacles,  by  the  force  of  their  own  genius  and  energy.  Thus  we  have 
sketches  of  Daniel  Webster,  Immanuel  Kant,  Fichte,  Sir  William  Jones,  and 
others,  who,  though  self-made  men,  can  hardly  be  called  self-educated  men: 
these  are  by  the  side  of  Elihu  Burritt,  Burns,  Henry  Clay,  Dr.  Franklin,  and  sev- 
eral others  of  a  similar  stamp,  who,  in  spite  of  the  want  of  a  regular  early  educa- 
tion, have  gained  a  position  among  their  fellow-men  which  tempts  one  to  consid- 
er the  learning  of  the  schools  as  superfluous.  The  unity  of  the  volume  according- 
ly, is  to  be  found  in  the  fact  that  it  consists  of  the  biographies  of  persons  who 
have  won  distinction  by  dint  of  struggle.  The  subjects  comprise  statesmen, 
scholars,  poets,  inventors,  men  conspicuous  for  their  mental  ability  and  attract- 
ive for  their  moral  worth.  The  book  can  not  fail  to  be  useful  wherever  it  is 
read.

"  Mark  Seaworth,"  "  Manco,"  &c.  Profusely  and  elegantly  Il- 
lustrated. Small  4to,  Muslin,  gilt,  75  cents. 

"  No  youth  of  an  inquiring  mind  will  lay  aside  this  entertaining  volume  with- 
out mastering  its  contents,  and  recollecting  them,  too ;  for  the  author  has  so 
managed  his  subject  as  surely  to  absorb  the  minds  of  his  youthful  readers.  It 
is  full  of  information,  which  will  be  equally  interesting  to  all  classes  of  readers. 
Indeed,  it  describes  many  things  in  Russia  which  are  scarcely  mentioned  in 
works  of  far  greater. pretension." 

Adam  Bede, 

A  Novel.     By  GEORGE  ELIOT,  Author  of  "  Scenes  of  Clerical

Among  the  new  writers  of  fiction  who  have  recently  appeared  in  Great  Brit- 
ain, we  should  place  George  Eliot,  the  author  of  Scenes  of  Clerical  Life,  at  the 
head.  We  should  be  at  a  loss  to  name  any  English  novelist  of  the  present  day 
who  has  excelled  the  author  in  his  pictures  of  domestic  life,  or  who  has  shown  a 
higher  order  of  talent  in  the  delineation  of  individual  character,  than  the  author 
of  these  admirable  tales.  They  make  us  acquainted  with  an  entirely  new  phase 
of  English  Life — that  of  the  middle-class  religious  family — and  they  are  wholly 
free  from  the  flippancies,  affectations,  and  maudlin  sentiments  which  are  pecu- 
liar to  the  majority  of  the  so-called  religious  novels.— N.  Y.  Times.

done  so  with  a  quiet  truth  which  we  find  in  few  of  his  contemporaries. — Saturday

A  Cyclopedia  of  Commerce 

And  Commercial  Navigation.  Edited  by  J.  SMITH  ROMANS, 
Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  the 
State  of  New  York,  and  Editor  of  "The  Bankers'  Magazine  and 
Statistical  Register  ;"  and  by  J.  SMITH  HOMANS,  Jr.,  B.S.,  Au- 
thor of  "  An  Historical  and  Statistical  Account  of  the  Foreign 
Commerce  of  the  U.  S."  Royal  Octavo,  2000  pages,  double  col-

vols.,  $8  00 ;  Half  Calf  extra,  2  vols.,  $8  75. 

This  work  is  a  compendium  of  commercial  knowledge,  including  articles  upon 
the  trade  of  every  important  maritime  country  and  city  in  the  world  ;  copious 
and  reliable  statistics  upon  the  staple  productions  of  every  climate ;  essays  upon 
commercial  subjects;  synopsis  of  the  laws  regulating  commerce ;  and,  generally, 
information  and  statistics  upon  every  important  commercial  subject. 

The  want  of  a  comprehensive  commercial  work  of  this  kind  has  long  been  felt 
in  the  United  States — a  work  exhibiting  the  condition  and  resources  of  the  Uni- 
ted States  and  the  separate  States,  as  well  as  of  foreign  nations.  The  only  at- 
tempt hitherto  made  in  this  country  to  supply  the  want  of  such  a  work  was  the 
reprint,  more  than  twenty-five  years  ago,  of  M'Culloch's  Dictionary  of  Commerce 
and  Commercial  Navigation.  This  work  is  very  deficient  in  statistics  relating 
to  this  continent,  particularly  of  the  United  States,  while  many  subjects  of  great 
importance  to  commercial  men  are  either  omitted  entirely  or  mentioned  only 
incidentally. 

The  extensive  and  important  changes  that  have  taken  place  within  the  past 
ten  years  in  commercial  affairs — the  establishment  of  new  States,  new  Territories, 
new  commercial  places — the  unexampled  increase  of  the  commerce  of  the  United 
States,  of  the  development  and  the  record  of  the  great  industrial  resources  of  the 
United  States — all  seem  to  require  a  new  and  distinct  work,  with  a  view  to  place 
before  commercial  readers  a  more  ample  account  of  the  progress  of  commerce 
throughout  the  world.  The  present  volume  has  been  prepared  with  a  view  to 
supply,  in  part,  this  want;  and  while  the  editors  have  aimed  at  presenting  a 
fair  exhibit  of  the  finances,  the  internal  and  foreign  commerce,  the  staple  pro- 
ducts of  each  State,  they  have  at  the  same  time  gathered  together  the  latest 
statistics  in  reference  to  the  products  and  the  commercial  relations  of  foreign 
nations:  especially  of  those  with  whom  the  United  States  have  the  most  inti- 
mate intercourse.  The  work  contains  over  2700  subjects.

Life  of  North  American  Insects, 

With  numerous  Illustrations  drawn  from  Specimens  in  the  Cabi- 
net of  the  Author.  By  Professor  JAEGER,  assisted  by  H.  C. 
PRESTON,  M.D.  12mo,  Muslin. 

The  present  work  is  the  fruit  of  Entomological  investigations,  pursued  by 
the  author  for  many  years  during  his  extensive  travels  in  Europe,  Asia,  and 
on  this  Continent — and  is  accompanied  by  a  thorough  examination  of  all  the 
•works  published  on  the  subject  in  the  various  European  languages.  No  branch 
of  Natural  History  deserves  a  more  careful  and  thorough  study  than  the  class 
of  Insects,  because  none  is  more  abounding  in  use  or  injury  to  man — none  pre- 
sents so  great  diversity  of  occupations  and  so  many  grades  of  society.  The 
study  and  knowledge  of  the  companions  that  swarm  around  us  on  every  tree 
and  flower,  in  the  air  about  us,  and  on  the  earth  beneath  us,  must  be  important 
and  interesting  to  every  one,  of  whatever  mental  capacity  or  taste.  And  it  has 
been  very  generally  so  considered,  for  the  rich  and  poor,  lettered  and  unlettered, 
the  statesman  and  philosopher,  manufacturer  and  merchant,  husbandman  and 
horticulturist,  clergyman  and  physician,  have  often  made  this  study  the  principal 
occupation  of  their  leisure  hours. 

Fankwei ; 

Or,  The  San  Jacinto  in  the  Seas  of  India,  China,  and  Japan. 
By  WILLIAM  MAXWELL  WOOD,  M.D.,  U.S.N.,  late  Surgeon  of 
the  Fleet  to  the  United  States  East  India  Squadron,  Author  of 
"  Wandering  Sketches  in  South  America,  Polynesia,"  &c.,  &c. 
12mo,  Muslin,  $  1  25. 

The  veteran  surgeon  of  the  United  States  fleet  composing  the  expedition  to 
Siam,  here  presents  an  interesting  record  of  his  experience  in  the  waters 
of  the  East.  His  volume  contains  several  graphic  episodes  illustrative  of  life  on 
board  ship,  together  with  a  great  amount  of  information  concerning  the  manners 
and  customs,  political  condition,  and  religious  ideas  of  the  remote  regions  to  which 
his  official  capacity  gave  him  intimate  access.  He  writes  in  a  style  which  bears 
the  impress  of  a  decided  individuality,  showing  the  resolute  thinker  and  observer. 
In  addition  to  the  topics  which  naturally  fall  within  the  compass  of  his  narrative, 
Dr.  Wood  presents  numerous  comments  on  the  naval  discipline  and  traditions 
with  which  many  years  have  made  him  familiar.  They  are  brought  forward  with 
sailor-like  frankness,  and  man-of-war  life  is  hit  off  in  a  manner  which  will  com-

the  charming  simplicity  and  freshness  with  which  they  are  presented  secure  the 
attention  of  the  reader.  If  any  child  complains  that  history  is  a  dry  study,  this 
work  should  be  placed  in  his  hands.

"  The  work  of  Dr.  W.  M.  THOMSON,  entitled  *  The  Land  and  the  Book"  has  been 
prepared  under  the  rare  advantages  of  a  long  residence  in  the  Holy  Land,  -with 
special  facilities  for  travel  and  exploration — a  familiar  knowledge  of  the  lan- 
guages of  the  Bible,  and  the  common  language  of  the  country,  and  the  constant 
observation  of  manners  and  customs  illustrative  of  the  Word  of  God.     It  repro- 
duces to  the  eye  and  the  mind  of  the  reader,  as  living  realities,  the  physical 
characteristics  and  the  social  and  domestic  habits  of  the  land  in  which  the  Bible 
was  written,  and  with  which  it  is  permanently  associated.     This  is  done  with 
scrupulous  accuracy,  with  fidelity  to  the  sacred  text,  and  at  the  same  time  in  a 
popular  and  engaging  style.     The  work  will  prove  a  most  valuable  aid  in  the 
study  of  the  Bible,  and  will  greatly  enrich  the  stores  of  those  who  are  called  to 
expound  it  in  the  pulpit  or  in  the  Sabbath  School. 

"Our  personal  observation  of  the  Holy  Land  and  its  manners  and  customs 
enables  us  to  add  that  the  Pictures  of  the  Land  and  its  every-day  Life  here  pre- 
sented, are  both  graphic  and  reliable,  and  we  cordially  recommend  the  work  to 
all  who  seek  a  better  understanding  of  the  sacred  Scriptures."11

Andrews's  Latin-English  Lexicon, 

founded  on  the  larger  German-Latin  Lexicon  of  Dr.  WM.  FREUND. 

With  Additions  and  Corrections  from  the  Lexicons  of  Gesner, 

Facciolati,  Scheller,  Georges,  &c.    Royal  8vo,  Sheep  extra,  $5  00. 

The  opinion  of  scholars,  both  in  this  country  and  Great  Britain,  is  unanimous 
in  its  favor,  as  the  best  lexicon  yet  published  in  any  language.  It  constitutes  the 
most  valuable  philological  and  historical  index  of  the  language,  in  its  successive 
periods,  that  has  been  given  to  the  world.  Its  excellence,  in  every  essential  qual- 
ity of  a  Latin  Lexicon,  can  not  be  too  highly  estimated.  Every  page  bears  the 
impress  of  industry  and  care.  The  unequaled  fullness  in  the  vocabulary,  the  phi- 
losophical arrangement  of  the  definitions,  the  abundant  references  to  the  Roman 
authors  which  support  these  definitions,  the  designation  of  the  words  as  classical 
or  otherwise,  with  the  period  to  which  each  word  belongs,  and  the  nice  attention 
to  the  quantity  of  syllables  which  runs  through  the  whole,  altogether  constitute  a 
group  of  excellences  which  place  this  lexicon  far  above  any  other  of  the  kind. 

The  beauty  of  the  typography,  which  is  clean,  neat,  and  judiciously  varied,  has 
met  with  unqualified  approbation.  The  lexicon  has  already,  to  a  great  extent, 
superseded  those  in  common  use,  as  the  cheapest  and  most  acceptable  aid  to  the 
acquisition  of  the  noble  language  of  Virgil  and  Cicero.

194  HARPER  &  BROTHERS'  LIST  OF  PUBLICATIONS. 

Dr.  Anthon's  Series  of  School  and  College  Classics, 

The  unrivaled  success  which  has  attended  the  scholastic  labors  of  Professor  An- 
thon,  best  attests  the  distinguished  merit  with  which  the  following  series  has 
been  regarded  by  the  learned  world.  The  London  Athenceum  says :  u  Dr.  Anthon 
has  done  more  for  sound  classical  school  literature  than  any' half  dozen  Enylish- 
men ;  his  books  are  admirably  edited.  His  merits,,  as  an  editor  of  the  school 
classics,  are  so  well  understood  and  appreciated  in  this  country,  as  well  as  in  his 
own,  that  commendation  would  be  superfluous," 

We  consider  his  series  of  "  School  Classics"  to  stand  unrivaled  in  their  depart- 
ment of  education,  whether  we  regard  the  extent  of  scholarship  which  they  dis- 
play, or  the  easy  gradation  by  which  the  student  is  led  from  the  first  principles 
of  a  complex  language  to  its  final  and  accurate  combinations.  A  union  of  the 
highest  classical  knowledge,  with  the  pov/er  of  adapting  it  to  the  student,  is  of 
rare  occurrence :  these  attributes  characterize  this  excellent  series.—  Examiner 
(London.) 

*3*  The  plan  proposed  in  the  following  series  is  to  give  editions  of  all  the  au- 
thors usually  read  in  our  schools  and  colleges,  together  with  such  elementary  and 
subsidiary  works  as  may  be  needed  by  the  classical  student,  either  at  the  com- 
mencement or  at  particular  stages  of  his  career. 

The  advantages  which  this  serie's  promises  to  confer  are  the  following :  the  latest 
and  best  texts ;  accurate  commentaries,  putting  the  student  and  instructor  in  pos- 
session of  the  opinions  of  the  best  philologists ;  together  with  all  such  subsidiary 
historical  and  archaeological  information  as  may  serve  not  only  to  throw  light 
upon  the  meaning  of  the  author,  but  also  to  give  rise,  in  the  young  student,  to 
habits  of  correct  thinking  and  to  the  formation  of  a  correct  taste. 

Many  of  the  works  at  present  used  in  our  classical  schools  are  either  miserably 
edited  reprints  of  antiquated  editions,  swarming  with  errors,  not  only  in  the  ty- 
pography, but  in  the  matter  itself ;  or  else  they  are  volumes  fair  to  the  view,  in- 
deed, as  far  as  regards  mere  mechanical  execution,  but  either  supplied  with  meagre 
and  unsatisfactory  notes,  or  without  any  notes  at  all. 

The  complaint  which  has  been  made  by  some  against  the  volumes  of  Dr.  An- 
thon's Series,  that  they  furnish  the  student  with  too  much  assistance,  appears  to 
be  the  most  illiberal,  not  to  say  the  most  ridiculous,  that  could  possibly  be  urged. 
When  Dr.  Anthon  commenced  his  editorial  labors,  the  system  of  classical  instruc- 
tion in  most  of  the  schools  of  this  country  was  lamentable  in  the  extreme ;  and 
the  vocation  of  a  teacher  consisted  of  little  more  than  ringing  the  changes  upon 
the  letters  and  syllables  of  his  academical  horn-book.  No  wonder  the  cry  was 
then  often  heard,  as  to  the  little  utility  likely  to  be  derived  from  the  study  of  the 
Greek  and  Latin  languages.  This  Series  introduced  a  new  era.  The  student  was 
presented  with  a  copious  commentary,  opening  up  sources  of  information,  to 
which  he  could  otherwise  have  had  no  possible  access,  and  bringing  to  bear  upon 
the  study  of  the  ancient  languages  a  mass  of  rich  and  varied  knowledge,  which  he 
had  looked  for  in  vain  from  his  immediate  instructors.  The  question,  therefore, 
resolves  itself  simply  into  this : — Shall  such  a  system  of  instruction  continue  to  be 
countenanced,  or  shall  instructor  and  pupil  go  back  to  their  old  mode  of  teaching 
and  being  taught,  and  play  over  once  more  the  venerable  game  of  blind-man1  s  buff 
with  the  ancient  writers."

As  a  dictionary,  this  is  the  "best  aid  to  the  study  of  classical  antiquity  which  we 
possess  in  our  language.  Valuable  as  it  must  be  to  the  student  of  ancient  litera- 
ture, it  will  be  of  scarcely  less  service  to  the  student  of  ancient  art,  for  the  illus- 
trations have  been  selected  with  care  and  judgment. 

The  articles  are  admirably  done ;  they  are  terse  in  style,  and  pregnant,  yet  not 
cumbrously  so,  with  accurate  knowledge — the  best  and  latest  authorities  are  con- 
stantly cited.  It  is  a  work  much  wanted,  and  is  invaluable  to  the  young  student, 
and,  as  a  book  of  reference,  it  will  be  most  acceptable  on  the  library  table  of  ev- 
ery scholar.

embracing  biographies  of  ancient  artists,  and  criticisms  upon  their  productions. 
The  work  is  not  only  indispensable  to  the  classical  teacher  and  student,  but  emi- 
nently useful  to  the  professional  man,  and  forms  a  necessary  part  of  every  library 
that  aims  to  be  complete.

A  valuable  work,  well  adapted  for  the  use  of  schools.  No  American  scholar 
could  judge  more  accurately  of  the  wants  of  our  schools  in  this  department,  or 
more  ably  supply  them  than  Dr.  Anthon.  The  characteristics  of  a  good  lexicon 
are  every  where  apparent.  The  word  to  be  defined  is  printed  in  distinct  capitals, 
which  greatly  facilitates  the  work  of  the  student  who  has  to  make  frequent  refer- 
ences to  his  dictionary.  The  quantity  of  the  text-word  is  also  carefully  marked, 
and  the  different  parts  of  the  word  given,  while,  if  it  be  a  derivative  word,  its 
Greek  or  Latin  root  or  original  is  also  given ;  and  the  definitions  are  brief,  com-

with  any  certainty  of  being  able  to  trust  what  he  finds  ;  and,  as  such,  it  must  ?n-

In  connection  with  the  natural  results  of  his  inquiries  on  the  wide  range  of 
topics  embraced  in  a  system  of  moral  science,  the  author  has  given  to  the  public 
the  views  of  distinguished  writers,  interweaving  them  with  his  own,  under  every 
division  of  the  general  subject.  As  an  eclectic,  presenting  the  views  of  such 
writers  as  Dugald  Stewart,  Abercrombie,  Beattie,  Whewell,  Chalmers,  the  Dicks, 
Paley,  J.  A.  James,  Wayland,  and  Barnes,  in  systematic  form,  it  is  a  rich  and  in-

aid  to  the  student  in  pursuing  the  deductions  of  Bishop  Butler.  The  utility  of 
the  volume  is  increased  by  the  brief  explanatory  notes  of  the  editor  and  by  a  com-

"  No  one  can  peruse  the  masterly  writings  of  Butler  without  great  intellectual 
profit.  Of  all  English  authors,  his  researches  in  the  science  of  ethics  have  pro- 
duced the  most  precious  and  the  most  permanent  fruit.  As  a  wholesome  disci- 
pline, in  these  days  of  rash  and  superficial  thought,  its  value  can  scarcely  be  over- 
rated."

Buttmann's  Greek  Grammar. 

For  the  use  of  High  Schools  and  Universities.  Revised  and  en-

18th  German  Edition,  by  EDWARD  ROBINSON,  D.D.,  LL.D.  8vo, 
Sheep  extra,  $2  00. 

Buttmann's  Grammar  still  retains  its  place  as  the  Classical  and  National  Greek 
Grammar  of  Germany.  Two  large  editions  of  the  translation  made  from  the 
thirteenth  edition  have  appeared  in  this  country.  The  present,  made  from  the 
eighteenth  edition  of  the  original,  brings  the  subject  of  Greek  Grammar  down  to 
the  close  of  1843.  The  objections  formerly  sometimes  made  to  the  comparative 
meagerness  of  the  Syntax  are  now  done  away.  In  its  present  form,  the  Syntax  is 
perhaps  surpassed  in  symmetry  and  fullness  by  no  other  one  of  a  like  character ; 
while  few,  if  any,  can  compare  with  it  in  clearness,  precision,  and  practical  utility. 
Buttmann  is  unquestionably  one  of  the  most  accurate  and  reliable  of  grammari- 
ans. His  grammar  is  surpassed  by  none  of  the  recent  works  in  accuracy,  brevi- 
ty, and  adaptation  to  the  wants  of  a  student.

We  rejoice  that  an  American  scholar  has  undertaken  and  so  ably  executed  a 
translation  of  a  work  which  has  been  so  favorably  received  and  so  highly  com- 
mended by  the  first  scientific  men  of  Europe.  For  comprehensiveness  of  scope, 
for  clearness  of  statement  and  exposition,  for  breadth  of  inquiry  and  depth  of 
thought,  we  esteem  it  superior  to  any  work  in  this  department  of  science  with 
which  we  are  acquainted.  —Evangelical  Revieio.

Professor  of  Mathematics  in  the  New  York  Free  Academy. 
12mo,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

This  is  one  of  the  few  works  designed  for  elementary  instruction  in  which  the 
subject  is  presented  in  a  truly  scientific  form,  and  the  consecutive  parts  developed 
in  a  manner  entirely  suited  to  the  recitation  room.  The  definitions  are  concise 
and  exact,  the  rules  explicit,  and  the  explanations  lucid  and  exactly  where  they 
should  be.  The  algebraic  notation  conduces  much  to  the  compactness  and  sim- 
plicity of  the  operations,  and  prepares  the  pupil  to  enter  upon  the  study  of  the 
higher  branches  of  mathematics.  The  concise,  beautiful,  and  masterly  manner  ia 
which  the  Second  Part,  Commercial  Arithmetic,  is  treated,  greatly  enhances  the 
value  of  the  work  for  those  who  are  preparing  to  enter  the  counting-room  or 
broker's  office.  As  a  complete  treatise  on  commercial  Arithmetic  there  ia  nothing 
that  can  compare  with  it.

LL.D.     12mo,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

This  is  a  very  comprehensive  treatise  on  the  beautiful  science  to  which  it  ia  de- 
voted. Commencing  with  the  simplest  elements  of  algebra,  in  a  form  adapted  to 
the  comprehension  of  the  youngest  learner,  it  unfolds  the  subject  in  its  more  ad- 
vanced principles,  including  all  that  is  necessary  in  a  regular  collegiate  course. 
The  language  ia  uniformly  elegant  and  concise,  the  principles  are  stated  with  rigid 
exactness,  and  illustrated  by  a  profusion  of  apposite  examples.  A  better  manual 
for  practical  use  was  never  presented  to  the  attention  of  teachers  and  students.

of  the  Pons  Asinorum  and  the  Forty-seventh  Proposition  materially  eased,  the 
teacher  will  see  that  his  own  labors  are  simplified  and  greatly  assisted.  A  care- 
ful examination  of  this  work  by  teachers  must  lead  to  its  general  adoption  in 
schools. 

Draper's  Physiology, 

Human  Physiology,  Statical  and  Dynamical ;  or,  The  Conditions 
and  Course  of  the  Life  of  Man :  being  the  Text  of  the  Lectures 
delivered  in  the  Medical  Department  of  the  University.  By 
JOHN  W.  DRAPER,  M.D.,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  Chemistry  and 
Physiology  in  the  University  of  New  York.  Illustrated  by  near- 
ly 300  fine  Woodcuts  from  Photographs.  8vo,  650  pages,  Mus- 
lin, $4  00;  Sheep,  $4  25;  Half  Calf,  $5  00. 

We  rise  from  the  survey  of  this  work  with  an  impression  of  great  power  and 
value.  We  are  satisfied  that  Draper's  Physiology  will  take  an  important  place  at 
once,  and  will  add  one  more  to  the  number  of  American  text-books  which  may  be 
placed  side  by  side  with  the  best  of  those  which  are  obtained  from  abroad. — 
Philadelphia  Medical  Examiner. 

Dr.  Draper's  Physiology  is  perhaps  the  greatest  work  ever  issued  from  the 
American  press.  The  reading  and  studying  of  it  is  worth  the  reading  and  study- 
ing of  all  the  medical  practices  of  the  last  quarter  of  a  centuiy. — St.  Louis  Medi- 
cal and  Surgical  Journal. 

The  favorable  reception  which  has  been  given  to  this  work  by  the  public  and 
the  medical  profession,  both  in  America  and  Europe,  proves  how  completely  it  has 
accomplished  its  object  of  bringing  the  science  on  which  it  treats  to  the  compre- 
hension of  the  general  reader,  without  any  sacrifice  of  its  high  scientific  position. 
As  a  representation  of  the  present  state  of  Physiology,  embodying  all  the  recent 
foreign  discoveries  in  a  form  not  otherwise  accessible  to  the  student,  it  has,  in 
less  than  a  year,  been  adopted  as  a  text-book  in  a  majority  of  American  Colleges. 
Great,  however,  as  its  success  in  that  respect  has  been,  the  favor  extended  to  it 
by  the  reading  and  educated  classes  generally  is  still  more  striking.  They  have 
appreciated  the  manner  in  which  it  brings  knowledge  on  a  subject  of  the  highest 
importance  to  the  well-being  of  society  to  the  easy  comprehension  of  persons  not 
familiar  with  medical  matters.  They  have  found  it  to  be  a  book  not  alone  adapt- 
ed to  the  university  or  college,  but  suited  to  the  instruction  of  every  head  of  a 
family.  The  numerous  photographic  engravings  it  contains  tend  greatly  to  a 
clear  illustration  of  the  various  topics  it  discusses,  enabling  those  who  have  only 
the  opportunity  of  casual  study  to  follow  the  author  in  his  descriptions  without 
any  difficulty. 

Of  all  the  sciences,  none  comes  more  closely  home  to  us  than  Physiology.  It 
explains  to  us  how  "fearfully  and  wonderfully  we  are  made,1'  teaches  us  how  the 
various  parts  of  our  system  act  in  a  state  of  health,  and  enables  us  to  understand 
the  causes  of  our  ailments  and  diseases.  There  is  no  class  of  society,  and,  indeed, 
no  individual,  who  may  not  profitably  become  acquainted  with  it.  It  is  therefore 
to  the  general  reader,  as  well  as  the  profession,  that  this  book  is  offered.

Draper's  Text*Book  on  Chemistry, 

A  Text-Book  on  Chemistry  for  the  use  of  Schools  and  Colleges. 
By  JOHN  W.  DRAPER,  M.D.,  Professor  of  Chemistry  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  New  York,  member  of  the  American  Philosophical  So- 
ciety, &c.     With  nearly  three  hundred  Illustrations.     New,  re- 
vised, and  enlarged  Edition.     12mo,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 
This  is  a  work  which  has  been  used  in  our  best  schools  and  colleges.     As  a 
practical  manual  of  instruction  it  is  admirably  adapted — it  is  clear,  concise,  and 
well  arranged.     The  author' s  experience  in  teaching  has  enabled  him  so  to  appor- 
tion the  subjects  of  the  lectures  as  to  do  equal  justice  to  each,  and  he  has  followed 
the  best  method  and  order  in  treating  them.     Without  this  practical  knowledge  as 
a  teacher,  no  extent  of  scientific  learning  could  have  produced  so  perfect  a  class- 
book.     But  this  is  not  its  only  merit.     It  is  not  a  mere  popular  compendium  ;  it  is 
a  complete  view  of  the  science  of  chemistry,  particularly  of  the  science  as  it  now  is, 
its  nomenclature,  definitions,  and  doctrines,  with  the  latest  discoveries  that  have 
been  made  in  it,  and  it  explains  the  mode  of  experimenting  so  clearly,  that  the 
student  would  find  no  difficulty  in  using  the  apparatus  without  other  guidance. 

Draper's  Text-Book  on  Natural  Philosophy, 

A  Text-Book  on  Natural  Philosophy  for  the  use  of  Schools  and 
Colleges.  Containing  the  most  recent  Discoveries  and  Facts, 
compiled  from  the  best  Authorities.  By  JOHN  W.  DRAPER,  M.D. , 
Professor  of  Chemistry  in  the  University  of  New  York,  and  for- 
merly Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy  and  Chemistry  in  Hamp- 
den  Sidney  College,  Virginia.  With  nearly  400  Illustrations. 
12mo,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

The  plan  of  this  work  resembles  that  of  the  author's  "  Text-book  on  Chem- 
istry" being  based  upon  his  Lectures,  and  embodying  the  most  important  recent 
improvements  introdnced  into  the  several  branches  of  Natural  Philosophy,  either 
as  respects  new  methods  of  presenting  facts,  or  the  arrangement  of  new  discov- 
eries. In  this  sense  the  work  is  to  be  regarded  as  a  compilation  from  the  au- 
thorities, adapted  to  the  use  of  schools  and  colleges ;  enriched  by  the  notes  and 
illustrations  of  the  author — the  fruit  of  his  valuable  experience  and  ripe  scholar- 
ship. The  work  is  illustrated  by  many  wood-cuts,  supplying,  in  a  measure,  the 
want  of  apparatus  or  other  means  of  illustration.

proved Plan  of  Instruction.  Complete  in  three  parts.  By  P.  DUFF, 
Merchant.  8vo,  School  Edition,  Half  Sheep,  75  cents ;  Mercan- 
tile Edition,  Muslin,  $1  50. 

A  book  of  instruction,  to  give  a  clear  and  satisfactory  insight  into  the  very  use- 
ful science  upon  which  it  treats,  through  all  its  gradations,  from  the  simplest  style 
suitable  to  the  retailer,  to  that  required  for  the  most  varied  and  complicated  com- 
mercial business.  It  should  be  in  the  possession  of  every  practical  accountant  as  a 
useful  assistant,  as  well  as  in  the  hands  of  every  one  desirous  of  becoming  an  ac- 
complished book-keeper.

$  1  00. 

A  profound  treatise  on  the  philosophy  of  Grammar.  It  treats  of  the  English 
language  in  its  elements  and  forms,  giving  a  copious  history  of  its  origin  and  de- 
velopment, and  ascending  to  the  original  principleson  which  its  construction  is 
founded.  There  is  no  work  on  the  subject  that  is  better  adapted  for  a  text-book 
in  collegiate  instruction,  for  which  purpose  it  is  especially  designed  by  the  au- 
thor. At  the  same  time,  it  forms  an  invaluable  aid  to  more  advanced  students 
in  the  niceties  of  our  language,  and  may  be  of  service  to  the  most  practical  writers, 
by  showing  them  the  raw  material  out  of  which  they  cunningly  weave  together 
their  moat  finished  and  beautiful  fabrics.

Elements  of  Geology.     By  ALONZO  GRAY,  A.M.,  Author  of  "  El- 
ements of  Chemistry,"  and  "Elements  of  Natural  Philosophy," 
and  C.  B.  ADAMS,  A.M.,  Fellow  of  the  American  Academy  of 
Arts  and  Sciences,  Professor  in  Amherst  College,  and  State  Ge- 
ologist of  Vermont.     Engravings.     12mo,  Sheep  Extra,  75  cents. 
The  object  of  this  work  is  to  present  the  science  of  geology  in  form  and  style 
suited  not  only  to  the  instruction  of  classes,  but  to  the  wants  of  the  general  reader. 
It  incorporrtes  more  of  American  geology  than  any  preceding  work  which  is  de- 
signed for  the  use  of  students,  and  is  very  fully  illustrated.     Some  of  the  topics 
presanted  are  the  geological  agencies,  water,  fire,  and  vitality  ;  the  principles  of 
zoology  which  pertain  to  fossils  ;  palaeontology ;  history  of  the  earth,  including  a 
description  of  the  various  geological  formations  with  their  included  fossils  ;  theo- 
ries of  the  earth  ;  age  of  the  world  ;  relations  of  geology  to  natural  theology,  and 
the  connection  of  geology  and  revelation.     Asa  book  of  instruction  it  has  no  su- 
perior ;  and  it  is  adapted  equally  to  the  wants  of  the  home  student  and  to  the  reci- 
tation room  of  the  academy.

Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

Teachers  of  high  schools  and  academies  will  find  Prof.  Gray's  "  Elements  of 
Natural  Philosophy11  a  very  desirable  text-book.  The  work  ia  divided  into  short 
sections,  each  of  which  is  prefaced  by  a  series  of  unnumbered  propositions,  em- 
bracing a  lucid  analysis  of  what  the  section  contains,  thus  enabling  the  learner  to 
arrange  and  systematize  his  knowledge  of  the  subject.  Numerical  questions  are 
appended  to  the  several  sections,  while  all  the  topics  are  very  fully  illustrated  by 
diagrams,  explaining  articles  of  apparatus  and  the  experiments  performed  by 
means  of  them.  The  author  has  introduced,  to  an  unusual  extent,  the  discoveries 
and  applications  of  modern  science.  The  most  important  principles,  which  are  to 
be  carefully  committed  to  memory,  are  made  deservedly  prominent,  being  enunci- 
ated as  formal  propositions  at  the  beginning  of  each  section,  and  subsequently  il- 
lustrated and  explained.

connections.  The  work  describes  the  various  organs,  and  their  functions  and 
adaptations.  The  arrangement  of  the  subjects  treated  is  new ;  but  the  peculiar 
mode  of  teaching  them  is,  with  some  variations  that  which  has  been  so  success- 
ful in  the  hands  of  Sir  Charles  Bell,  Dr.  Arnott,  and  a  few  other  modern  writers.

American  student,  and  which  the  author  has  collected  from  the  wide  field  of  mod- 
ern Freuch,  German,  and  English  publications.  It  is  the  happy  combination  of 
theoretical  and  practical  algebra,  which  renders  this  work  so  welcome  to  teachers 
and  private  students,  and  so  serviceable  to  the  cause  of  thorough  instruction.

This  work  is  intended  as  a  complete  text-book  of  general  history  for  the  use  of

condensed  summary  of  names,  dates,  and  detached  chronological  events,  but  pre- 
sents, in  a  simple  and  connected  narrative,  a  general  view  of  the  great  leading 
events  which  have  occurred  in  the  history  of  the  world,  "beginning  at  the  earliest 
periods,  and  coming  down  through  the  Assyrian,  Persian,  Grecian,  Roman,  and 
British  empires,  to  the  organization  of  the  American  Republic,  and  the  establish- 
ment of  the  American  Constitution.  Jt  is  intended  for  Americans,  and  the  narra- 
tive consequently  follows  the  line  Avhich  leads  to,  and  is  most  directly  connected 
with,  the  events  of  our  own  history.

We  have  had  hitherto  no  work  in  our  vernacular  embracing  a  comprehensive, 
and,  at  the  same  time,  elementary  and  didactic  view  of  the  history  of  philosophi- 
cal opinions,  including  those  of  Cousin,  Jouffroy,  Kant,  Spinoza,  &c.  The  pres- 
ent work  is  designed  to  supply  that  want.  Besides  an  appendix,  bringing  down 
the  subject  to  the  present  time,  the  editor  has  added  some  notes  and  illustrations 
as  elucidatory  of  the  text

Hooker's  Child's  Book  of  Nature, 

The  Child's  Book  of  Nature,  for  the  Use  of  Families  and  Schools; 

intended  to  aid  Mothers  and  Teachers  in  training  Children  in 

the  Observation  of  Nature.     In  Three  Parts.     PART  I.  Plants. 

— PART  II.  Animals. — PART  III.  Air,  Water,  Heat,  Light,  &c. 

By  WORTHINGTON  HOOKER,  M.D.,  Author  of  "Physician  and 

Patient,"  "Human  Physiology,"  &c.     Illustrated  by  Engravings. 

The  Three  Parts  complete  in  one  vol.  Small  4to,  Muslin,  $1  25 ; 

Separately,  Muslin,  50  cents  each. 

A  beautiful  and  useful  work.  It  presents  a  general  survey  of  the  kingdom  of 
nature  in  a  manner  adapted  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  child,  and  at  the  same 
time  to  furnish  him  with  accurate  and  important  scientific  information.  The  First 
Part  is  devoted  to  the  vegetable  world— plants,  flowers,  and  fruits.  The  Second 
Part  treats  of  animals,  aijd  the  Third  of  air,  water,  heat,  light,  &c.  Although 
written  for  children,  it  is  a  beautiful  and  interesting  treatise,  which  may  be  read 
with  pleasure  by  persons  of  all  ages.  While  the  work  is  well  suited  as  a  class- 
book  for  schools,  its  fresh  and  simple  style  can  not  fail  to  render  it  a  great  favorite 
for  family  reading. 

The  Three  Parts  of  this  book  can  be  had  in  separate  volumes  by  those  who  de- 
sire it.  This  will  be  advisable  when  the  book  is  to  be  used  in  teaching  quite 
young  children,  especially  in  schools.  It  will  take  some  time  to  go  through  each 
part  thoroughly,  and  the  pupil  had  better,  for  various  reasons,  be  introduced  to 
each  in  its  order  as  a  new  book.

about  250  Woodcuts.     8vo,  Muslin,  $  1  50 ;  Sheep  extra,  $1  75. 
The  additional  notos  of  Professor  Draper  to  this  comprehensive  work  have  been 
deemed  exceedingly  valuable.     The  leading  idea  of  the  author  has  been  to  pre- 
sent the  student  an  account  of  the  general  principles  and  facts  of  chemistry,  and 
of  its  application  to  pharmacy,  medicine,  and  the  useful  arta.     For  its  laborious 
research,  accurate  analysis,  and  profound  learning,  this  work  stands  unrivaled 
among  the  productions  of  its  class.

This  -work  is  prepared  for  the  use  of  schools,  but  is  no  less  adapted  to  the  gen- 
eral reader.     It  presents  a  clear  and  systematic  account  of  the  changes  which  have 
taken  place  upon  the  earth's  surface,  and  the  causes  by  which  they  have  been 
brought  about,  and  gives  a  full  account  of  the  geological  structure  and  mineral  re-

LiddelPs  School  History  of  Rome, 

A  School  History  of  Rome,  from  the  Earliest  Times  to  the  Estab- 
lishment of  the  Empire,  with  Chapters  on  the  History  of  Liter- 
ature and  Art.    By  HENRY  G.  LIDDELL,  D.D..  Dean  of  Christ

with  Smith's  "History  of  Greece,"  "The  Student's  Gibbon,"  and 
"The  Student's  Hume."     12mo,  Muslin,  $100. 
For  the  use  of  schools  and  colleges,  and  for  a  large  class  of  readers,  this  work 
must  assume  the  first  place  among  the  recent  Histories  of  Rome.     Its  comparative 
brevity  is  secured  by  condensation  rather  than  by  omission.     It  embodies  the  last 
results  of  historical  criticism,  and  exhibits,  not  merely  the  series  of  Rome's  polit- 
ical and  military  fortunes,  but  the  course  and  tokens  of  her  progress  alike  in 
those  manly,  hardy  traits  which  made  her  empress  of  the  world,  and  in  those 
more  showy  attributes  of  national  greatness  and  individual  magnificence,  which, 
in  their  culminating  glory,  bore  the  presage  of  decline,  decay,  and  dismember- 
ment.    Dr.  LiddelTs  style  is  concise,  clear,  and  strong.     His  numerous  classical 
references  and  quotations,  no  less  than  the  chapters  expressly  devoted  to  litera- 
ture, connect  the  march  of  events  with  the  development  of  the  national  mind,  and 
thus  render  the  work  a  history  of  the  Romans  no  less  than  of  Rome. — Sorth

Liddell  and  Scott's  Greek-English  Lexicon, 

Based  on  the  German  Work  of  FRANCIS  PAS  sow.     With  Correc- 
tions and  Additions,  and  the  Insertion,  in  Alphabetical  Order, 
of  the  Proper  Names  occurring  in  the  principal  Greek  Authors, 
by  HENRY  DRISLER,  M.A.     Royal  8vo,  Sheep  extra,  $5  00. 
The  work  of  Liddell  and  Scott  is  esteemed  by  scholars  as  incomparably  the  best 
Greek  lexicon  ever  published.     It  fs  constructed  on  the  true  principles  of  lexicog- 
graphy,  and  presents,  besides  the  clear  and  consistent  signification  of  each  word, 
its  history,  the  changes  it  has  undergone,  and  especially  its  usage  in  each  of  the 
great  eras  of  the  language.     On  the  score  of  completeness,  accuracy,  comprehen- 
siveness, and  scholarship,  the  work  is  not  to  be  named  in  comparison  with  Donne- 
gan,  or  any  other  Greek-English  lexicon.     Its  publication  was  hailed  with  great 
satisfaction  by  all  professors  and  teachers  of  the  Greek  language,  and  has  done 
much  to  advance  Greek  learning  among  us.     A  significant  testimonial  to  its  value 
is  to  be  found  in  the  fact  that,  from  its  first  appearance,  this  lexicon  was  adopted  in 
the  English  schools  to  the  exclusion  of  all  others,  received  the  stamp  of  public  ap- 
probation, and^was  awarded  the  palm  of  decided  superiority  over  other  lexicons. 
Professor  Drisler  has  not  only  carefully  prepared  the  work,  but  has  added  large- 
ly to  its  value,  especially  by  the  insertion  of  all  the  proper  names  in  their  alpha- 
betical order.

A  Treatise  on  Arithmetic, 

Theoretical  and  Practical.     Fourth  edition.     12mo,  352  pages, 

Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

This  volume  explains,  in  a  simple  and  philosophical  manner,  the  theory  of  all 
the  ordinary  operations  of  Arithmetic,  and  illustrates  them  by  examples  suffi- 
ciently numerous  to  impress  them  indelibly  upon  the  mind  of  the  pupil.  The 
most  important  information  required  respecting  the  usual  forms  of  business  is 
given  in  a  clear  and  concise  manner.  The  book  is  designed  for  the  use  of  ad- 
vanced students  in  our  public  schools,  and  furnishes  a  complete  preparation  for 
the  study  of  Algebra,  as  well  as  for  the  practical  duties  of  the  counting-house. 

The  answers  to  about  one-third  of  the  questions  are  given  in  the  body  of  the 
work ;  but  in  order  to  lead  the  student  to  rely  upon  his  own  judgment,  the  an- 
swers to  the  remaining  questions  are  purposely  omitted.  For  the  convenience, 
however,  of  such  teachers  as  may  desire  it,  there  is  published  a  small  edition  con- 
taining the  answers  to  all  the  questions.

Elements  of  Algebra, 

Designed  for  the  use  of  Beginners.    Fourteenth  edition.     12mo, 

281  pages,  Sheep  extra,  62£  cents. 

This  volume  is  intended  for  the  use  of  students  who  have  just  completed  the 
study  of  arithmetic.  It  is  believed  that  it  will  be  found  sufficiently  clear  and  sim- 
ple to  be  adapted  to  the  wants  of  a  large  class  of  students  in  our  common  schools. 
It  explains  the  method  of  solving  equations  of  the  first  degree,  with  one,  two,  or 
more  quantities  ;  the  principles  of  involution  and  of  evolution  ;  the  solution  of 
equations  of  the  second  degree ;  the  principles  of  ratio  and  proportion,  with  arith- 
metical and  geometrical  progression.  Every  principle  is  illustrated  by  a  copious 
collection  of  examples,  and  at  the  close  of  the  book  will  be  found  a  collection  of 
two  hundred  miscellaneous  problems. 

A  Treatise  on  Algebra, 

Nineteenth  Edition.     8vo,  359  pages,  Sheep  extra,  $1  00. 

This  treatise  is  designed  to  contain  as  much  of  algebra  as  can  be  profitably  read 
in  the  time  allotted  to  this  study  in  most  of  our  colleges,  and  those  subjects  have 
been  selected  which  are  most  important  in  a  course  of  mathematical  study.  Par- 
ticular pains  have  been  taken  to  cultivate  in  the  mind  of  the  student  a  habit  of 
generalization,  and  to  lead  him  to  reduce  every  principle  to  its  most  general  form. 
It  is  believed  that,  in  respect  of  difficulty,  this  treatise  need  not  discourage  any 
youth  of  fifteen  years  of  age  who  possesses  average  abilities,  while  it  is  designed  to 
form  close  habits  of  reasoning,  and  cultivate  a  truly  philosophic  spirit  in  more 
mature  minds.  In  accordance  with  the  expressed  wish  of  many  teachers,  a  classi- 
fied collection  of  two  hundred  and  fi  ty  problems  is  appended  to  the  last  edition 
of  this  work. 

Elements  of  Geometry  and  Conic  Sections, 

Seventeenth  Edition.     8vo,  234  pages,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

The  arrangement  of  the  propositions  in  this  treatise  is  generally  the  same  as  in 
Legendre's  Geometry,  but  the  form  of  the  demonstrations  is  reduced  more  nearly 
to  the  model  of  Euclid.  The  propositions  are  all  enunciated  in  general  terms,  with 
the  utmost  brevity  which  is  consistent  with  clearness.  The  short  treatise  on 
Conic  Sections,  appended  to  this  volume,  is  designed  particularly  for  those  who 
have  not  time  or  inclination  for  the  study  of  analytical  geometry.  The  last  edi- 
tion of  this  work  contains  a  collection  of  theorems  without  demonstration  and 
problems  without  solution,  for  the  exercise  of  the  pupil.

principles  of  land  surveying,  with  a  full  description  of  the  instruments  employed ; 
the  elements  of  navigation,  and  01  spherical  trigonometry.  The  tables  furnish  the 
logarithms  of  numbers  to  10,000,  with  the  proportional  parts  for  a  fifth  figure  in 
the  natural  number ;  logarithmic  sines  and  tangents  for  every  ten  seconds  of  the 
quadrant,  with  the  proportional  parts  to  single  seconds ;  natural  sines  and  tan- 
gents for  every  minute  of  the  quadrant ;  a  traverse  table  ;  a  table  of  meridional 
parts,  &c.  The  last  edition  of  this  work  contains  a  collection  of  one  hundred  mis- 
cellaneous problems  at  the  close  of  the  volume.

portant transcendental  curves.  The  second  part  treats  of  the  differentiation  of 
algebraic  functions,  of  Maclaurin's  and  Taylor's  theorems,  of  maxima  and  minima, 
transcendental  functions,  theory  of  curves,  and  evolutes.  The  third  part  exhibits 
the  method  of  obtaining  the  integrals  of  a  great  variety  of  differentials,  and  their 
application  to  the  rectification  and  quadrature  of  curves,  and  the  cubature  of 
solids.  All  the  principles  are  illustrated  by  an  extensive  collection  of  examples, 
and  a  classified  collection  of  a  hundred  and  fifty  problems  will  be  found  at  the 
close  of  the  volume. 

Elements  of  Natural  Philosophy, 

Designed  for  Academies  and  High  Schools.     12mo,  352  pages, 

Sheep  extra,  $1  00. 

This  volume  exhibits  in  a  concise  form  the  fundamental  principles  of  Natural 
Philosophy,  arranged  in  their  natural  order,  and  explained  in  a  clear  and  scien- 
tific manner,  without  requiring  a  knowledge  of  the  mathematics,  beyond  that  of 
the  elementary  branches.  It  treats  of  Mechanics,  Hydrostatics,  Pneumatics, 
Acoustics,  Heat,  Optics,  Magnetism  and  Electricity.  Special  pains  have  been 
taken  to  make  this  work  both  practical  and  interesting,  by  borrowing  illustra- 
tions from  common  life,  and  by  explaining  phenomena  which  are  familiar  to  all, 
but  whose  philosophy  is  not  generally  well  understood.  The  volume  is  designed 
particularly  for  the  use  of  the  higher  classes  in  Academies  and  High  Schools.

This  work  furnishes  a  description  of  the  instruments  required  in  the  outfit  of  an 
observatory,  as  also  the  methods  of  employing  them,  and  the  computations  grow- 
ing out  of  their  use.  It  treats  particularly  of  the  Transit  Instrument  and  of  G  rad- 
uated  Circles  ;  of  the  method  of  determining  time,  latitude,  and  longitude,  with 
the  computation  of  eclipses  and  occultations.  The  work  is  designed  for  the  use 
of  amateur  observers,  practical  surveyors,  and  engineers,  as  well  as  students  who

with  a  convenient  and  copious  Index.  These  Maps  are  constructed  on  propor- 
tional scales,  which  are  distinguished  by  precise  indications,  and  afford  every  fa- 
cility for  ready  and  accurate  comparison  of  different  portions  of  the  earth's  sur- 
face. They  are  executed  with  remarkable  neatness,  and,  embodying  the  latest 
geographical  discoveries,  will  be  found  highly  valuable,  both  for  seminaries  of

PROF.  M'CLINTOCK'S  CLASSICAL  SERIES. 

The  series  of  books  prepared  by  Professor  John  McClintock,  and  published  by 
Harper  &  Brothers,  which  we  have  now  used  for  nearly  two  years  with  signal  suc- 
cess, is  an  immeasurable  advance  upon  the  systems  pursued,  twenty-five  years 
ago,  of  worrying  and  wearying  through  the  whole  of  the  Latin  and  Greek  Gram- 
mars. By  the  more  rational  system  now  in  use,  we  learn  a  little  of  the  grammar 
first,  and  use  it  as  soon  as  learned,  in  oral  or  written  exercises,  until  it  becomes  as 
familiar  as  one's  own  mother  tongue,  and  the  pupil  can  render  from  Latin  or 
Greek  into  English,  or  from  English  into  Latin  or  Greek,  with  equal  readiness. — 
School  Report,  at  Lawrence,  Mass.,  Jem.,  185D. 

M'Clintock's  First  Book  in  Latin. 

A  First  Book  in  Latin ;  Containing  Grammar,  Exercises,  and 
Vocabularies,  on  the  Method  of  constant  Imitation  and  Repeti- 
tion. With  Summaries  of  Etymology,  and  Syntax.  By  Rev.  J. 
M'CLINTOCK,  D.D.,  late  Professor  of  Languages,  and  Rev.  GEO. 
R.  CROOKS,  D.D.,  late  Adjunct  Professor  of  Languages,  in  Dick- 
inson College^  12mo,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

This  volume  has  been,  perhaps,  more  largely  sold  within  the  last  few  years  than 
any  other  Latin  elementary  book.  It  is  at  once  philosophical  and  practical.  In 
the  hands  of  good  teachers  it  can  not  fail  to  give  pupils  a  thorough  knowledge  of 
the  elements  of  Latin. 

M'Clintock's  Second  Book  in  Latin. 

Containing  Syntax  and  Reading  Lessons  in  Prose  ;  forming  a 
sufficient  Latin  Reader,  with  Imitation  Exercises  and  a  Vocabu- 
lary. 12mo,  Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

The  Second  Book  gives  the  Syntax  in  an  enlarged  form.  Its  reading  lessons  are 
taken  wholly  from  Cicero  and  Caesar,  on  the  principle  that  none  but  the  best  writ- 
ers should  be  read  by  beginners.  The  notes  are  ample,  without  giving  the  pupil 
too  much  aid.  There  is  no  better  Latin  Reader  than  this,  even  for  classes  that 
have  not  studied  the  "  First  Book.11

M'Clintock's  First  Book  in  Greek. 

Containing  a  full  View  of  the  Forms  of  Words,  with  Vocabula- 
ries and  copious  Exercises,  on  the  Method  of  constant  Imitation 
and  Repetition.  Revised  Edition.  With  brief  Summaries  of  the 
Doctrine  of  the  Verb,  and  of  the  Rules  of  Syntax.  12mo,  Sheep 
extra,  75  cents. 

This  is  u  Greek  made  easy,11  not  by  leaving  out  the  hard  parts,  but  by  present- 
ing the  difficulties  one  at  a  time,  and  in  the  order  most  consonant  to  nature  and 
reason.  The  book  has  been  very  widely  introduced  into  the  better  class  of  schools, 

M'Clintock's  Second  Book  in  Greek, 

Containing  Syntax,  with  Reading  Lessons  in  Prose ;  Prosody  and 
the  Dialects,  with  Reading  Lessons  in  Verse.  Forming  a  suffi- 
cient Greek  Reader,  with  Notes  and  copious  Vocabulary.  12mo, 
Sheep  extra,  75  cents. 

This  is  a  "  Greek  Reader,"  formed  on  the  plan  of  giving  the  pupil  no  more  to 
read  than  he  can  thoroughly  master.  All  the  Syntax  and  Prosody  that  are  need- 
ed for  the  reading  are  given  in  the  volume.  The  extracts  in  prose  are  from  Xeno- 
phon ;  those  in  verse  from  Homer  and  Anacreon. 

Mrs,  Markham's  History  of  France, 

A  History  of  France,  from  the  Conquest  of  Gaul  by  Julius  Cassar 
to  the  Reign  of  Louis  Philippe,.     With  Conversations  at  the  end 
of  each  Chapter.     By  Mrs.  MARKHAM.     Prepared  for  the  use  of 
Schools  by  the  addition  of  a  Map,  Notes,  and  Questions,  and  a 
Supplementary  Chapter,  bringing  down  the  History  to  the  pres- 
ent Time.     By  JACOB  ABBOTT.     12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 
The  History  of  France,  by  Mrs.  Markham,  is  a  very  clear,  succinct,  and  enter- 
taining narrative.     It  seems  well  adapted  to  its  purpsse  of  communicating  a  dis- 
tinct and  connected  idea  of  the  progress  of  events  of  which  that  most  remarkable 
country  has  been  the  scene.    A  very  full  and  carefully  executed  map  of  France, 
not  contained  in  the  original  work,  has  been  provided  for  this  edition  ;  and  in  re- 
spect to  all  places  of  any  importance  mentioned  in  the  work,  there  are  notes  of 
reference  to  facilitate  finding  them  upon  the  map.

Mill's  Logic. 

A  System  of  Logic,  Ratiocinative  and  Inductive ;  being  a  con- 
nected View  of  the  Principles  of  Evidence,  and  the  Methods  of 
Scientific  Investigation,     By  J.  S.  MILL.     8vo,  Muslin,  $1  50. 
It  is  excellent  throughout  in  its  plan,  in  its  illustrative  examples,  and  in  its  ex- 
ecution every  way — in  a  word,  it  is  perfect  of  its  kind.     To  most  young  persons 
composition  is  the  most  painful  task  in  the  culture  of  the  mind,  and  so  it  must  be 
as  long  as  they  are  required  to  write  out  their  thoughts  before  they  have  been 
taught  to  think.     Your  book  provides  a  remedy  for  this  very  defective  system ; 
it  teaches  the  pupil  how  to  take  the  first  step  in  the  difficult  art  of  thinking,  and 
then  leads  him  on  until  he  can  do  without  a  guide— Rev.  Dr.  COGSWELL.

Mills's  Literature. 

The  Literature  and  Literary  Men  of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland. 
By  ABRAHAM  MILLS,  A.M.  2vols.  8vo,  Muslin,  $3  50;  Half 
Calf,  $5  50. 

The  plan  of  this  work  is  of  a  very  comprehensive  character.  It  embraces  the 
whole  field  of  English  literature,  from  the  origin  and  formation  of  the  Anglo-Sax- 
on language  to  the  close  of  the  seventeenth  century.  Account  is  given  of  nearly 
all  the  noteworthy  poets,  historians,  novelists,  dramatists,  divines,  and  philoso- 
phers in  Great  Britain  and  Ireland  during  the  space  of  more  than  twelve  centu- 
ries, with  critical  notices  of  their  writings,  and  choice  extracts  sufficiently  numer- 
ous to  give  a  fair  impression  of  the  genius  and  peculiar  style  of  each  individual. 
Such  a  compendium  must  be  a  treasure  to  all  who  desire  to  have  the  gems  of 
British  literature  made  accessible  without  labor,  and  without  the  expense  of  a 
large  library. 


Morse's  School  Geography, 


A  new  System  of  Geography,  for  the  use  of  Schools.  Illustrated 
by  more  than  50  Cerographic  Maps,  and  numerous  Engravings 
on  Wood.  4to,  Half  Bound,  50  cents. 

This  popular  new  school  geography,  entirely  original  in  its  plan,  is  extremely 
beautiful  in  its  pictorial  embellishments,  lucid  and  simple  in  its  adaptation  to  the 
purposes  of  popular  instruction,  as  well  as  by  far  the  cheapest  of  all  works  of  the 
kind  ever  produced.  Since  its  publication  over  half  a  million  copies  have  been 
printed. 

The  Public  School  Society  of  the  city  of  New  York  unanimously  adopted 
Morse's  School  Geography  into  their  extensive  schools,  and  it  has  been  generally 
introduced  into  those  of  Philadelphia  and  elsewhere. 

The  superiority  of  this  Geography  over  all  others,  consists  in, 

1.  The  Arrangement  is  such  that  the  Map,  Questions  on  the  Map,  and  Descrip- 
tion of  each  country  are  on  the  same  page,  or  on  pages  directly  opposite,  enabling 
the  pupil  to  refer  readily  from  one  to  the  other,  without  the  inconvenience  of  two 
books,  or  even  the  necessity  of  turning  the  leaf. 

2.  The  Maps  are  more  numerous,  and  generally  on  a  larger  scale  than  in  any 
other  School  Geography. 

3.  The  Exercises  on  the  Map  are  so  framed  as  to  presejfa  a  connected  view  of  the 
great  features  of  each  country. 

4.  The  Descriptions  are  a  series  of  short  paragraphs,  -vr*  jise  style, 
and  confined  to  the  most  interesting  and  characteristic  mafct^ 

6.  The  correct  Pronunciation  of  difficult  names  is  indicated  by  dividing  into 
syllables,  accenting,  &c. 

6.  The  General  and  Comparative  Views  at  the  end  of  the  volume  are  on  the 
plan  first  introduced  by  the  author  in  1820,  and  since  adopted  by  many  other 
School  Geographies.     They  are  regarded  as  well  fitted  to  exercise  and  strengthen 
the  judgment. 

7.  The  new  art  of  Cerography  is  applied  for  the  first  time  to  the  illustration  of 
a  work  of  this  kind,  and  enables  the  publishers  to  sell  it  at  a  very  low  price. 

The  whole  work  is  the  result  of  long  and  careful  study,  and  is  intended  to  im- 
press upon  the  mind  of  the  student  such  outlines  of  geography  as  will  form  the 
toest  foundation  for  farther  and  extensive  acquisitions.

Noel  and  Chapsal's  French  Grammar, 

A  new  System  of  French  Grammar ;  containing  the  First  Part  of 
the  celebrated  Grammar  of  these  Authors.  Arranged  with  Ques- 
tions and  a  Key  in  English.  Also,  an  Abridgment  of  the  Syntax 
and  Grammatical  Analysis  of  the  same  Authors.  To  which  are 
added,  Lessons  in  Beading  and  Speaking,  Forms  of  Drafts,  Ad- 
vertisements, &c.  Designed  to  facilitate  the  Student  in  the  use 
of  the  French  Language,  1st.  By  making  it  a  Medium  of  Com-

12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 
The  Grammar  of  Noel  and  Chapsal  is  universally  considered  to  be  well  adapted 

for  use  in  our  academies.     The  form  of  question  and  answer  adopted  by  Mrs. 

Seaman,  with  the  translated  key  at  the  end,  are  evident  improvements. 

Olmsted's  Astronomy, 

Letters  on  Astronomy,  in  which  the  Elements  of  the  Science  are 
familiarly  explained  in  connection  with  Biographical  Sketches 
of  the  most  eminent  Astronomers.  With  numerous  Engravings. 
By  DENISON  OLMSTED,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy 
and  Astronomy  in  Yale  College.  Revised  Edition,  including  the 
latest  Discoveries.  12mo,  Muslin,  75  cents. 

The  name  of  Professor  Olmsted  is  at  once  associated  in  the  mind  of  every  one 
who  hears  it  with  such  objects  as  that  of  which  this  work  treats.  It  is  in  the 
form  of  letters — a  mode  of  conveying  instruction  which,  when  well  followed,  as  in 
this  case,  possesses  peculiar  advantages.  This  work,  whether  used  as  an  ele- 
mentary one  by  beginners,  or  as  a  "  refresher1'  by  adults,  is  one  of  the  best  which 
has  ever  been  published  in  this  country. 

Parker's  Outlines  of  General  History, 

Outlines  of  Gener0  History,  Designed  as  the  Foundation  and  Re- 
view of  a  Coup     of  Historical  Reading.     By  RICHARD  GREEN 
PARFFP    '""".,  Corresponding  member  of  the  New  York  Histor- 
ical vuthor  of  "  Aid  to  English  Composition."    New 
Editio           v, Additions.     12mo,  Sheep  extra,  $1  00. 
These  Questions  on  History  have  been  constructed  upon  the  plan  suggested  by 
Sir  WALTER  SCOTT  in  his  letter  to  Lord  MONTAGUE,  where  he  says,  "  For  this 
species  of  instruction,  I  do  not  so  much  approve  of  tasks  and  set  hours  for  se- 
rious reading,  as  the  plan  of  endeavoring  to  impart  a  taste  for  history  to  the 
youths  themselves,  and  suffering  them  to   gratify  it  in  their  own  way.     The 
knowledge  which  we  acquire  at  freewill,  and  by  spontaneous  exertion,  is  like  food 
eaten  with  an  appetite — it  digests  well,  and  benefits  the  system  ten  times  more 
than  the  double  cramming  of  an  alderman."     The  design  of  this  work  is  to  lay 
the  substratum  for  a  course  of  historical  reading,  which  may  be  either  spontane- 
ously or  systematically  assigned.     In  a  word,  to  present  a  panoramic  view  of  his- 
tory, giving  its  outlines  in  an  abbreviated  form,  divested  of  minor  and  tedious  de- 
tails, and  thus  inspire  a  love  of  study.     The  work  is  equally  adapted  to  schools 
and  families.

Parker's  Aids  to  English  Composition, 

Aids   to    English   Composition,   prepared    for    Students   of  all 
Grades,  embracing  Specimens  and  Examples  of  School  and  Col- 
lege Exercises,  and  most  of  the  higher  Departments  of  English 
Composition,  both  in  Prose  and  Verse.     A  new  Edition,  with 
Additions   and  Improvements.    By  RICHARD  GREEN  PARKER, 
A.M.     12mo,  Muslin,  80  cents  ;  Sheep  extra,  90  cents. 
The  public  have  been  so  long  familiar  with  this  excellent  volume,  that  it  is  un- 
necessary to  say  any  thing  in  its  praise.    It  is  replete  with  most  valuable  and  in- 
structive matter,  admirably  adapted  to  students,  and  indispensable  to  all  who  ap- 
preciate the  advantages  of  acquiring  elegance  in  diction  and  literary  composition. 
It  is  just  such  a  work  as  every  man  who  attempts  to  prepare  any  thing  for  the 
press  ought  to  possess  and  study. 

Parker's  Geographical  Questions, 

Adapted  for  the  use  of  Morse's,  Woodbridge's,  Worcester's,  Mitch- 
ell's, Field's,  Malte-Brun's,  Smith's,  Olney's,  Goodrich 's,  or  any 
other  respectable  Collection  of  Maps:  embracing,  by  way  of 
Question  and  Answer,  such  Portions  of  the  Elements  of  Geogra- 
phy as  are  necessary  as  an  Introduction  to  the  Study  of  the 
Maps.  To  which  is  added  a  concise  Description  of  the  Terres- 
trial Globe.  12mo,  Muslin,  20  cents. 

These  Questions  embrace  none  of  the  tedious  and  uninteresting  details  of  geog- 
raphy. They  are  designed  to  simplify  the  study  of  this  important  science,  by 
means  of  the  useful  and  important  process  of  classification.  There  are  few  ques- 
tions among  them  that  can  not  be  answered  from  any  respectable  atlas ;  they  will 
prove  useful  and  convenient  on  this  account,  as  they  may  be  used  without  sub- 
jecting a  class  of  pupils  to  the  expense  frequently  attendant  on  a  required  uni- 
formity of  maps.  These  Questions  are  used  in  many  of  the  leading  schools  in  New- 
England.

per, 38  cents. 

44  The  Captives"  has  generally  been  esteemed  the  masterpiece  of  the  father  and 
prince  of  Roman  comedy.  It  is  free  from  the  immoralities  which  a  rude  and  li- 
cientious  age  ha&  impressed  on  most  of  his  productions  ;  it  contains  much  to  illus- 
trate the  deeply  interesting  subject  of  ancient  slavery ;  its  plot  possesses  unusual

sentiments.

A  volume  of  great  value  to  both  pupil  and  teacher.    Two  well-known  instruc- 
tors have  combined  the  results  of  their  experience  and  observation.     The  work 
treats  of  the  objects  and  relations  of  the  school ;  discusses  the  present  condition 
of  common  schools,  and  the  best  means  of  their  improvement ;  the  character  to 
be  maintained,  the  studies  to  be  pursued,  and  the  duties  to  be  performed  by  the 
teacher ;  the  best  methods  of  instruction  and  government ;  and  the  proper  method

subject  of  common  schools  which  ia  not  here  considered.

Robinson's  Greek  Lexicon  of  the  Testament, 

A  Greek  and  English  Lexicon  of  the  New  Testament.  By  ED- 
WARD ROBINSON,  D.D.,  LL.D.,  Professor  of  Biblical  Literature 
in  the  Union  Theological  Seminary,  N.  Y.  A  New  Edition,  Re- 
vised, and  in  great  part  re-written.  Royal  8vo,  Muslin,  $4:  50 ; 
Sheep  extra,  $4  75. 

The  excellence  of  this  edition  of  the  "  Greek  and  English  Lexicon"  is  found  in 
many  particulars :  1.  It  embodies  the  results  of  the  labors  of  the  best  lexicog- 
raphers and  grammarians  down  to  the  present  time,  together  with  the  author's 
own  materials,  accumulated  during  his  whole  professional  life,  and  including 
his  personal  explorations  in  the  land  of  the  Bible ;  2.  It  is  marked  by  the  presid- 
ing influence  of  good  judgment  in  the  combination  and  use  of  these  materials; 
8.  It  combines  the  qualities  both  of  a  Concordance  and  Commentary.  How 
completely  the  first  edition  supplied  a  great  want  in  the  theological  literature  of 
the  day  readers  will  readily  judge,  from  the  fact  that  three  rival  editions  of  it 
were  speedily  reprinted  in  London  and  Edinbugh,  besides  two  subsequent 
abridgments. 


Russell's  Juvenile  Speaker,

in  the  Berkley  Divinity  School.  12mo,  Muslin,  60  cents ;  Half 
Bound,  70  cents. 

The  object  of  this  work  is  to  present  the  first  principles  of  elocution  as  they 
apply  to  the  practices  of  boys  in  declamation  ;  to  reduce  every  principle  to  im- 
mediate practice  by  the  introduction  of  appropriate  exercises;  to  illustrate  the 
principles  of  gesture ;  and  to  furnish  young  speakers  with  a  supply  of  suitable 
pieces  for  a  more  extended  application  of  the  rules  of  elocution.

The  merits  of  this  work  consist  in  the  systematic  order  and  arrangement  of  the 
subject,  and  in  the  full  information  given,  not  only  upon  Roman  and  Grecian  an-

I  can  with  truth  say  that  I  have  never  met  with  a  work  professing  to  teach  any 
foreign  language  which  combines  so  many  excellent  qualities,  and  is  so  well 
adapted  for  all  classes  of  learners.  It  contains  all  that  the  pupil  needs,  and  in  a 
very  convenient  compass.  The  judicious  arrangement  of  your  work  especially 
pleases  me.— DON  JULIO  CIEILO  DE  MOLINA,  formerly  Professor  of  the  English,

Schmucker's  Psychology,

Muslin,  $1  00. 

This  production,  the  fruit  of  some  twenty  years'  scholastic  experience,  avow- 
edly owes  its  existence  to  the  desire  of  the  author  to  promote  the  cause  of  truth 
and  science.  It  exhibits  in  a  lucid  manner  the  analysis  of  mental  philosophy  as 
the  basis  of  metaphysical  science  and  religious  belief. 

Smith's  Mechanics. 

An  Elementary  Treatise  on  Mechanics,  embracing  the  Theory 
of  Statics  and  Dynamics,  and  its  Application  to  Solids  and  Flu-

Wesleyan  University.  Illustrations.  8vo  Muslin,  $1  50  j  Sheep 
extra,  $1  75. 

This  work  is  the  product  of  much  careful  study,  and  is  a  felicitous  condensation 
of  all  that  has  been  developed  by  Whewell,  Fierson,  Francoeur,  and  Gregory,  in 
this  important  branch  of  scientific  research.  The  author  is  widely  known  as  a 
professor  of  mathematics  and  astronomy  in  the  Wesleyan  University,  and  his  ex- 
perience as  a  teacher  has  induced  him  to  adopt  the  analytical  in  preference  to  the 
geometrical  method  of  investigation,  as  being  more  universal  in  its  application, 
shorter  in  practice,  and  more  exact  in  results.  It  also  tends  to  invest  the  study 
with  additional  interest  to  the  student.

Dr,  Smith's  History  of  Greece, 

A  History  of  Greece  from  the  Earliest  Times  to  the  Eoman  Con- 
quest, with  Supplementary  Chapters  on  the  History  of  Litera- 
ture and  Art.  By  WILLIAM  SMITH,  LL.D.,  Editor  of  the  Dic- 
tionaries of  "Greek  and  Koman  Antiquities,"  "Biography  and 
Mythology,"  and  "  Geography."  Revised,  with  an  Appendix,  by 
GEORGE  W.  GREENE,  A.M.  For  Schools  and  Students,  Illus- 
trated with  100  Wood-cuts.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

Several  excellent  school  Histories  of  Greece  have  been  of  late  years  published, 
but  we  have  no  hesitation  in  pronouncing  this  by  far  the  best.  In  its  plan  it  is  more 
comprehensive  than  any  other,  special  chapters  being  devoted  to  the  history  of 
Greek  literature  and  art.  In  the  narrative  of  historical  events,  Dr.  Smith  has 
had  the  advantage  of  consulting  the  latest  works,  among  which,  that  of  Mr.  Grote 
is  pre-eminent.  In  the  account  of  Greek  literature  the  work  of  Colonel  Mure  has 
been  of  great  assistance.  Dr.  Smith's  name,  as  a  learned  and  accomplished  schol- 
ar, is  sufficient  guarantee  for  the  research  and  accuracy. — Literary  Gazette. 

Dr.  Smith  shows  himself  to  be  not  only  thoroughly  acquainted  with  his  subject, 
but,  what  is  a  much  rarer  merit,  possessed  of  that  practical  skill  which  is  indis- 
pensable to  the  production  of  a  good  school-book.  The  logical  skill  manifested  in 
the  arrangement  of  this  book  is  only  equalled  by  the  happy  tact  with  which  the 
atttention  is  kept  alive — now  by  an  apt  and  striking  quotation  from  some  ancient 
or  modern  poet ;  now  by  a  characteristic  anecdote,  or  by  a  just  and  appropriate 
reflection,  in  which  the  sound  judgment  and  the  enlightened  views  of  the  author 
are  unequivocally  displayed.  The  style  adopted  by  Dr.  Smith  is  just  what  such 
a  work  requires— simple,  easy,  and  idiomatical,  yet  perfectly  acurate,  ajid  in  good 
taste  throughout. — Journal  of  English  Education. 

This  is  not  only  the  best  school  History  of  Greece  now  before  the  public,  but 
the  most  suitable  for  popular  reading.  Asa  manual  for  common  use.  it  must  soon 
take  the  place  of  every  other.  It  embodies  the  results  of  Mr.  Grote's  important 
investigations  as  well  as  of  other  modern  writers.  In  the  department  of  litera- 
ture and  art  it  is  particularly  rich.  The  style  is  lucid,  elegant,  and  spirited. 
There  can  be  no  doubt  that  it  will  at  once  justify  its  claims  to  be  a  standard  work 
on  the  subject. 


Spencer's  Greek  New  Testament, 

The  four  Gospels  and  Acts  of  the  Apostles,  in  Greek,  with  En- 
glish Notes,  Critical,  Philological,  and  Exegetical,  on  the  Gos- 
pels and  Acts  ;  Maps,  Indexes,  &c.,  together  with  the  Epistles 
and  Apocalypse.  The  whole  forming  the  complete  Text  of  the

tion." 12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00:  Sheep  extra,  $1  25. 

An  attempt  to  furnish  such  matter  in  the  notes  as  will  render  the  historical 
books  of  the  New  Testament  suitable  for  general  use  in  colleges,  academies,  and 
theological  seminaries.  The  notes  are  principally  devoted  to  the  settling  of  the 
text,  the  critical  meaning  of  the  original  Greek,  the  illustration  of  geography,  his- 
tory, and  antiquities  of  the  New  Testament,  together  with  the  exegesis  of  the 
more  important  passages  relating  to  the  cardinal  doctrines  of  the  G  ospel.  Each 
book  has  a  brief  introduction  prefixed ;  and  there  are  several  maps,  copious  in- 
dexes, &c.,  attached.— Strong's  Harmony  of  the  Gospels.

The  Student's  Gibbon, 

The  History  of  the  Decline  and  Fall  of  the  Roman  Empire.  By 
EDWARD  GIBBON.  Abridged.  Incorporating  the  Researches  of 
Recent  Commentators.  By  WILLIAM  SMITH,  LL.D.,  Editor  of 
the  "  Classical  Dictionary,"  "A  School  Dictionary  of  Greece," 
&c.  Illustrated  by  100  Engravings  on  Wood.  Uniform  with 
LiddelFs  Rome,  Smith's  History  of  Greece,  and  the  Student's 
Hume.  12mo,  Muslin,  $1  00. 

We  hardly  know  whether  to  admire  more  the  modesty  of  Dr.  Smith,  in  con- 
tenting himself  with  editorial  labor,  when  he  is  so  eminently  capable  of  writing 
an  original  work  on  Roman  history,  or  his  skill  in  condensing  the  six  volumes 
of  Gibbon's  magnificent  work  into  one,  without  losing  its  spirit  or  impairing 
its  connection.  We  miss  nothing  of  Gibbon's  splendid  style,  and  the  omission  of 
unimportant  episodes  and  incidental  discussions  imparts  a  vivacity  to  the  narra- 
tive which  even  the  original  does  not  possess.  One  also  feels  especial  confidence 
in  the  accuracy  of  a  history  which,  written  by  such  an  author  as  Gibbon,  has 
passed  through  the  hands  of  such  an  editor  as  Dr.  Smith.  The  work  is  copiously 
illustrated  with  engravings  representing  persons,  places,  manners,  costumes,  &c., 
and  contains  valuable  genealogical  tables  and  a  full  index.  It  eminently  deserves 
the  name  which  the  editor  has  given  it,  of  "  The  Student's  Gibbon."—  N.  Y. 
Evening  Post. 


The  Student's  Hume, 

The  Students  Hume.  A  History  of  England  from  the  Earliest 
Times  to  the  Revolution  in  1688.  By  DAVID  HUME.  Abridged. 
Incorporating  the  Corrections  and  Researches  of  Recent  Histori- 
ans ;  and  continued  down  to  the  Year  1858.  Illustrated  by  En- 
gravings on  Wood.  Large  12mo,  uniform  with  "The  Student's 
Gibbon,"  "  Smith's  History  of  Greece,"  and  "LiddelPs  History 
of  Rome."  {Shortly.} 

This  work  is  designed  to  supply  a  long-acknowledged  want  in  our  School  and 
College  Literature — a  STUDENT'S  HISTORY  OF  ENGLAND  in  a  volume  of  moderate 
size,  free  from  sectarian  and  party  prejudice,  containing  the  results  of  the  best 
modern  historians,  tracing  more  particularly  the  development  of  the  Constitution, 
and  bringing  out  prominently  the  characters  and  actions  of  the  great  men  of  our 
country.  It  has  lately  been  the  fashion  in  some  quarters  to  underrate  the  merits 
and  exaggerate  the  faults  of  Hume  ;  but  the  most  competent  judges  have  gener- 
ally been  among  the  first  to  render  homage  to  his  greatness  as  an  historian. 
Thus  Mr.  Hallam  remarks,  that  the  domestic  transactions  in  the  reign  of  Edward 
I.  have  been  "  extremely  well  told  by  Hume,  the  first  writer  who  had  the  merit 
of  exposing  the  character  of  Edward  I. ;"  and  a  recent  critic  (The  Times,  April 
1,  1858)  has  observed,  "  That  Hume's  account  of  our  English  annals  is  still,  with 
all  its  defects,  the  best  history  of  the  period  over  which  it  extends." 

As  much  prominence  as  possible  is  given  in  the  present  work  to  the  rise  and 
progress  of  the  Constitution  ;  but  in  order  to  economise  space,  and  at  the  same 
time  not  to  interrupt  the  narrative,  much  important  information  is  inserted  in  a 
smaller  type  in  the  "  Notes  and  Illustrations,"  where  the  student  will  find  an  ac- 
count of  the  "  Government  Laws,  and  Institutions  of  the  Anglo-Saxons,"  of  the 
"  Anglo-Norman  Constitution,"  of  the  *'  origin  and  progress  of  Parliament,"  and 
of  other  matters  of  a  similar  kind.— Extract  from  Preface.

This  work  is  one  of  great  value  to  the  literary  and  religious  community.     It  in- 
dicates throughout  not  only  deep  and  varied  research,  but  profound  and  laborious 
thought,  and  is  a  full,  lucid,  and  able  discussion  of  an  involved  and  embarrassing 
subject.    The  style  is  perspicuous,  and  often  elegant ;  the  work  entitles  the  author

M.A.,  Professor  of  Latin  in  Columbia  College,  N.  Y.  Royal 
8vo,  Sheep  extra.  (In  Press.) 

This  is  the  first  really  accurate  and  complete  work  of  the  kind  that  has  been 
given  to  scholars  either  on  this  or  the  other  side  of  the  Atlantic,  and  is  the  only 
separate  English-Greek  Dictionary  ever  published  in  this  country.  It  must  at 
once  displace  those  dictionaries  which,  notwithstanding  their  defects  and  inaccu- 
racies, have  hitherto  held  their  places  in  academies  and  colleges  because  there 
was  no  better.  The  work  has  been  carefully  and  faithfully  revised  and  corrected 
by  Prof.  Drisler,  of  Columbia  College ;  and,  as  there  was  no  English-Greek  part 
to  his  edition  of  Liddell  and  Scott's  Dictionary,  this  edition  of  Yonge's  English- 
Greek  Lexicon  is  necessary  to  complete  that  incomparable  Dictionary.
